How these numbers are made

Property tax uses the Wisconsin DOR 2025 effective full-value rate of 0.01679 for the City of Shawano (net of the state school levy credit), applied to the Census median home value of $160,800. Lottery and first dollar credits are not subtracted.
Garbage, recycling and curbside services are special charges on the tax bill: the City's 2025 budget states $148.00 and $43.00 (yearly, developed residential properties), shown as $191 / 12 a month. The 2026 amounts were not found in any published document, so the 2025 charges are used and shown as the 2025 charge.
Water: $9.40 monthly minimum charge plus $9.34 public fire protection charge for a 5/8-inch meter; $2.60 per 100 cu. ft. for the first 1,000 cu. ft., $2.30 to 2,000, $1.85 to 12,000 and $1.30 above (the brochure prints the last tier as 'Over 15,000'; 12,000-15,000 is not listed). Sewer: $11.00 monthly plus $6.40 per 100 cu. ft. Rates are as printed on the utility's rate brochure (the brochure dates the water rate 12/31/23 and the sewer rate 4/01/23). The utility's own brochure names SMU for water and sewer billing; at typical household use the unlisted 12,000-15,000 cu. ft. band does not matter.
Electric is the Rg-1 customer charge of $13.00 and $0.1138 per kWh; a monthly power cost adjustment (PCAC) is added and varies. Typical use of 572 kWh a month is 2024 EIA sales (33,862 MWh) divided by 4,932 customers and 12 months. The PSC tariff sets the PCAC base cost of power at $0.0782 per kWh and the monthly PCAC is the actual power cost per kWh less that base; SMU publishes no fixed PCAC figure, so it is not added.
Natural gas is left out of the totals: the City's New Resident Information page names WE Energies as the gas provider, but its gas rate is not modelled here.
Nothing here is legal, tax or insurance advice.
