description Electricity is one of the most important sources of energy in modern society. However, in Brazil, consumers in all sectors and classes are affected by an increasing rise in energy prices, a crucial reason for electricity consumers to pay attention to their tariff framework and consumption profile. All electricity concessionaires in Brazil have different tariffs for each consumer profile, so each consumer can choose the tariff regime that best fits his profile. Therefore, this work proposes the development of an application that allows everyone to check the available tariffs for their consumer profile and find out which tariff is more advantageous. To validate the functioning of the application, two real case studies were simulated in the application. This showed that the answers found were not only simple and easy to interpret, but also effective, allowing the use of the application by the entire civil society.
