The invention discloses an electric energy subentry metering method and device based on stable characteristic waveform matching. The method comprises the steps of: collecting stable characteristic waveforms of household loads, carrying out load identification based on the similarity with a load standard characteristic waveform in a database, calculating the electric energy consumed by each kind of load according to the power variation of the loads and the switching moments of the loads, and carrying out subentry metering of the household loads. The device comprises a signal collection module, a data processing module, a data storage module, a display module and a communication module. The device is capable of collecting, storing and analyzing electric signals in real time and forming electric energy subentry metering reports for users to carry out querying. The electric energy subentry metering reports are uploaded to a cloud end power grid company for reference. The power consumption is low, the cost is low, installation is easy, detailed data is provided to the user for understanding the electric consumption condition, and the device can also be used as one terminal device in a power grid electric energy measurement system so as to provide reference to the power grid company for understanding the data such as the load structure.
