How Is an Electricity Bill Calculated?
An electricity bill is primarily the product of monthly consumption (kWh) and the unit price. Additional charges such as distribution fees, energy funds, and VAT are added on top. This tool estimates the energy consumption portion of your bill.
What is kWh?
A kilowatt-hour (kWh) is the unit of electrical energy. 1 kWh = a 1000 W device running for 1 hour. Your electricity meter records usage in kWh, and your bill is based on the difference between your current and previous readings.
Monthly Consumption Formula
For each device: kWh/month = (W ÷ 1000) × daily hours × 30. Sum all devices to get your monthly total. An average household uses 200–500 kWh/month; homes with air conditioning can exceed 600 kWh in summer.
Energy Saving Tips
Choose high-efficiency appliances (A+++), disable standby mode, switch to LED lighting, run washers and dishwashers at off-peak hours, and keep AC set to 24–26 °C. Small changes across multiple devices add up to significant savings on your monthly bill.
