Zählerblick - Meter Tracker

Track electricity, water and solar in Germany. Understand your Nebenkostenabrechnung, calculate costs automatically. Free to start.

Living in Germany and confused by your utility bill? Zählerblick helps you track your electricity, water and solar meter readings — and finally understand where your money goes, even if your German isn't perfect yet.

Enter your meter reading once a month, and Zählerblick calculates your consumption and cost automatically. No spreadsheets, no guessing.

Start free with one meter — electricity or water. Zählerblick Pro unlocks unlimited meters (including the other type), photovoltaic tracking, and more.

CORE FEATURES

Enter a meter reading, consumption is calculated automatically — month by month.

• Dashboard with total consumption, cost and monthly trend at a glance.
• Year-over-year comparison: instantly see if your usage went up or down.
• Correct calculation even across the calendar year change.
• Monthly notes, with a record of when you last edited them.
• Warns you about unusual readings before a typo turns into a shock bill.

WATER & WASTEWATER — SEPARATE FROM ELECTRICITY (Zählerblick Pro)

Water is billed differently — a different unit, a different price, and in Germany often two separate charges on one bill:

• A dedicated water section, in m³ instead of kWh, fully separate from electricity.
• Wastewater ("Abwasser") is calculated automatically from your fresh water usage — no second meter needed.
• Fresh water and wastewater each keep their own price history.
• A dedicated PDF report for water.

UNDERSTAND YOUR NEBENKOSTENABRECHNUNG

If you rent in Germany, your landlord sends you an annual "Nebenkostenabrechnung" — a utility cost statement that reconciles your advance payments against actual usage. It's one of the more confusing parts of renting here if German isn't your first language. Zählerblick's PDF report gives you your own independent record of consumption and cost, month by month, so you can actually check the numbers your landlord sends you — instead of just trusting them.

SOLAR: KNOW WHEN YOUR SYSTEM PAYS FOR ITSELF (Zählerblick Pro)

Enter your monthly solar yield, and Zählerblick shows you:

How much electricity you used yourself vs. how much you fed into the grid. Your savings from self-consumption, plus your feed-in revenue. Exactly how far you are from full payback (amortization). All calculated using your real electricity price history — not a flat estimate.
