Electricity Bill Calculator

Household electricity in India is billed in slabs: the first units cheaper, later units dearer, with every DISCOM writing different numbers. This page uses a simple teaching ladder — ₹3, ₹5, ₹7, then ₹8 per kWh across 100 / 100 / 300 / remaining units — so 250 kWh becomes about ₹1,150. It is not BESCOM, MSEDCL, TANGEDCO or BSES.

A number you need in a queue

A 2BHK in Indore and a 3BHK in Kochi can show the same 250 units and still pay different rupees because of fixed charges, fuel surcharges and subsidy codes. IndiaKit still offers a slab sketch so you can see why 400 units is not twice 200 units in rupees, which is the insight people need before they buy a second AC.

How the lookup or formula runs

250 units: 100×₹3 + 100×₹5 + 50×₹7 = ₹300 + ₹500 + ₹350 = ₹1,150. There is no fixed charge, electricity duty, or time-of-day tariff in this sketch.

If your bill shows 250 kWh but also a ₹80 fixed charge and a fuel-adjustment line, add those yourself. Prepaid meters and agricultural tariffs are different worlds.

Official tariffs are on your DISCOM site and on the state electricity regulatory commission’s tariff order. Those PDFs override this page every year.

250 kWh in a teaching slab, Indore summer

Rohit in Indore reads 250 kWh on the meter after a hot May. The IndiaKit ladder prints ₹1,150. His actual Madhya Pradesh DISCOM bill will add fixed charges and duty; he uses ₹1,150 only to explain to his roommate why running a second fridge is not “just a few units.”

What we do not store

Indicative slabs only, not a named DISCOM tariff. No subsidy, no solar net metering, no commercial LT rates. Read the tariff order for your connection.

Common questions

Which city tariff is this?

None. It is a made-up ladder to teach slab maths. BESCOM in Bengaluru and TATA Power in Mumbai publish different numbers every year.

Why not include a fixed charge?

Fixed charges vary by sanctioned load (kW) and DISCOM. Putting a fake ₹80 would look official and be wrong. Add your bill’s fixed line separately.

Can I model a solar offset?

Not here. Net-metering units are a DISCOM accounting topic. Subtract exported units from consumed units only if that is how your bill is already computed.
