Electricity Bill Calculation Guide
Electricity bills are often slab-based, so unit-wise calculation improves estimate accuracy.
Bangladesh-focused guide with practical calculation workflow.
Step-by-Step Explanation
- Record consumed units
- Apply slab-wise rate
- Add meter/fixed charge and VAT
Formula Used
- Bill = sum (units in slab × slab rate) + fixed charges + VAT
Example Calculation
- If total energy charge is BDT 2,000 and VAT is 5%, VAT is BDT 100 before adding fixed charges.
Common Mistakes
- Applying one rate to all units
- Ignoring fixed charge and tax
FAQ
