Understanding Your Cox Bill

There are two ways you can view your invoice. This can be done online or through the Cox app. Be sure to have your username and password ready to gain access if you are viewing the invoice online.

Generally, the first bill is higher than your next bill. This is because there are one time charges for installing and activating your service. If you are activating a new service , you will be charged for this in your first bill. Additionally, there are partial month charges for the first month of your plan cycle. This is calculated by looking at the number of days the line was active after your service was installed. Cox should not charge you for the days when your line was not active during the first month.

Keep in mind that for the partial month, you should enjoy full benefits of that plan month.

Typically the bill will contain an invoice for the following:

1. Bill Date: This is the date your bill was printed. Any service or changes made after that date will be reflected in your next billing statement.
2. Important Account Details: This is your account number and Cox pin.
3. Account Balance and Payments: This is the previous amount billed and paid on the account since your last statement.
4. New Charges: This is the total amount charged on the entire account during the payment period. One time charges such as installation fees or service charges are also included in this amount.
5. Monthly Services: This is a description of the services that you have selected every month. Here, you’ll also find the features that are included in your package.
6. Other Fees and Surcharges: These are fees imposed by Cox.
7. Taxes and Other Fees: Cox cable services are subject to federal, state, local taxes, and fees.
8. Your bill will also contain a section with changes in your bill. Some examples include upgrades or downgrades in service or when a service agreement expires on the account.
