Why this calculator asks for your tariff
Electricity rates in India vary by state, board, consumer category, slab, connected load, subsidy, fixed charge, and billing period. Hardcoding a rate can become wrong quickly, so this page lets you enter the rate from your latest bill or official tariff notice.
How the estimate works
The calculator multiplies consumed units by the unit rate, adds fixed charges, and optionally applies a tax or duty percentage. This gives a quick planning estimate, not an official bill calculation.
Where to find inputs
Use the units or kWh shown on your electricity bill. For unit rate, check the tariff line, average energy charge, or official tariff sheet. Add fixed charges and taxes separately if your bill shows them.
State-board caution
TNEB, BESCOM, MSEDCL, Telangana, Andhra Pradesh, and other boards can use different slabs and rules. For payment disputes or exact billing, use the official board bill, tariff order, or customer portal.
Review method and source trail
This page deliberately avoids fixed tariff tables because electricity rates, slabs, subsidies, taxes, and distribution-company rules change. The source of truth is the latest bill, official tariff order, or customer portal; the calculator performs only the arithmetic on the values you enter.
