This disclosure is concerned with systems, methods and devices for managing consumption of a resource, such as water, gas or electricity for example, by one or more resource-using devices. In one example of a method for managing usage of a resource by a resource-using device, resource cost information representing a per unit cost of a resource is obtained and stored. Then, the amount of the resource used by the resource-using device over a predetermined period of time is measured. The cost information and the resource consumption is then used to calculate a resource consumption cost associated with the resource-using device. Finally, output is provided to a user, where the output represents the calculated resource consumption cost.
