EIA’s delivered residential price per Mcf is a seasonal national average, not a therm tariff from your utility.

How to use this figure

Use this page to price delivered residential natural gas in Mcf at the EIA June 2026 national price, without converting to therms.

  1. Keep the quantity in Mcf. The series is dollars per Mcf.
  2. Enter the Mcf you want to price. The locked rate is $24.09.
  3. Read June as a seasonal month. A winter bill can be higher for reasons this single month does not show.

What the result means

Five Mcf at $24.09 is $120.45. Fixed customer charges are not in that product.

A comparison that stays on this source

Electricity is priced per kWh on its own page. Adding the two totals is a household exercise this formula does not perform.

If the number looks wrong

  • A therm conversion is refused because no factor was extracted from this series.
  • A utility ZIP rate will not match a national delivered average. Use the comparison box for a price you already calculated per Mcf.

This is not a heating-system installation cost.

Record last verified 2026-09-06. That date is the record’s verification stamp, not a claim that a market price is unchanged today.

Official unit price: the headline is a published series observation. Any total is quantity × that sourced rate.

High evidence confidence

High evidence confidence is an internal CostMage evidence-quality score (76 of 100). It describes source strength and extract completeness, not the probability that a quoted figure matches your bill.

Labels: 75–100 high, 60–74 moderate, below 60 limited. The number is not a probability that the cost is correct.

    $24.09/Mcf delivered residential price. Seasonal.

What changes the cost

  • Season
  • Region

Limitations

  • Monthly national average, highly seasonal.
  • Your utility may bill in therms with a different factor.

Questions

What is an Mcf?

One thousand cubic feet. EIA publishes this series in $/Mcf. CostMage does not invent a therm conversion.

Why not convert to therms?

EIA publishes this series in $/Mcf. A therm factor that CostMage did not extract would be invented.

Why is a June price lower than winter memory?

The series is seasonal. A June national average is not a heating-season bill.
