How units are calculated
1 unit = 1 kWh. Units = Watts × Hours per day × Quantity × Days ÷ 1000. For example, a 1500 W AC running 6 hours a day for 30 days uses 270 units.
Real bills also include fixed charges, electricity duty and slab-based rates that differ by state. Enter your average rate per unit from a past bill for the best estimate.
Ways to cut your bill
- Set the AC to 24–26°C and use a timer.
- Switch to BLDC fans and LED bulbs.
- Turn the geyser off after use.
Frequently asked questions
Why is the fridge set to 60 W for 24 hours?
A fridge compressor switches on and off. About 60 W averaged over the day is typical for a mid-size fridge. Check its star-rating label for exact yearly units.
How do I find my rate per unit?
Divide the total energy charges on a past bill by the units consumed.
