    Abstract: Methods and systems for displaying consumption data representing consumption of a utility by a utility consumer are provided. An example method includes maintaining a plurality of time intervals in computer memory. In an example embodiment, at least one estimated usage value and at least one payment value is calculated. A usage status is determined for one or more of the time intervals based at least partly on the estimated usage value(s). A payment status is determined for one or more of the time intervals based at least partly on the estimated payment value(s) and estimated usage value(s). The utility consumer is presented with individual representations of the time intervals, the time intervals represented so that time intervals having the same status are visually similar and time intervals having different statuses are visually distinct.
