Electric Bill Calculator

What is Electric Bill Calculator?

The Electric Bill Calculator estimates your monthly electricity consumption and cost based on the wattage and daily usage hours of your appliances. It helps identify high-consumption appliances to reduce your bill.

How to Calculate Electricity Bill

1. Enter the wattage of each appliance
2. Enter the daily usage hours
3. Enter the electricity rate per unit (check your last bill)
4. Click Calculate to see monthly units consumed and estimated cost

How Electric Bill Calculator is Calculated

Units (kWh) = Wattage × Hours Used per Day × Days / 1000. Monthly Cost = Units × Rate per Unit. Rate per unit varies by state, slab, and electricity board (typically ₹3–10/unit).

Worked Example

AC (1.5 ton, 1500W) running 8 hrs/day for 30 days: Units = 1500 × 8 × 30 / 1000 = 360 kWh. At ₹7/unit: monthly AC cost = ₹2,520.

Common Use Cases

• Monthly electricity cost estimation
• Identifying high-consumption appliances
• Comparing AC sizes and star ratings
• Solar panel sizing based on consumption

Common Mistakes to Avoid

• Using the appliance's maximum wattage instead of average — an inverter AC rated at 1500W actually draws 700–1000W on average.
• Not accounting for slab-based pricing — many state electricity boards charge progressively. The first 100 units may be ₹3/unit, but 300+ units can be ₹8/unit.
• Ignoring standby power consumption — TV, set-top box, chargers, and routers on standby can add 50–100 units/month.
• Not considering the star rating of appliances — a 5-star AC can use 25–30% less power than a 3-star model.
