Electricity Bill Calculator

Units (kWh) = watts × hours per day × days ÷ 1000. Multiply the units by your rate per unit, then add fixed charges and tax to get the bill.

How to use: Set your rate per unit (from your last bill) and number of days. Edit the appliance list with their watts, hours a day and how many you have, or add more rows.

Estimate your electricity units (kWh) and monthly bill from the appliances you use.

How are electricity units calculated?

One unit on your bill is one kilowatt-hour (kWh): 1,000 watts running for one hour. A 1,500 W air conditioner running 6 hours a day for 30 days uses 1,500 × 6 × 30 ÷ 1000 = 270 units.

Where to find the numbers

VSH take: the biggest savings usually come from the AC, geyser and old fridge, not lights.
