How to use
How to use the electricity bill calculator
- Choose your state. In Madhya Pradesh, pick urban or rural — fixed charges differ.
- Edit the appliance list. Set how many you have, their wattage (on the label or manual) and hours used per day. Remove what you do not own.
- Enter your sanctioned load (Chhattisgarh) from your bill, and tick the state rebate if you qualify.
- Read units and the estimated bill. The table below shows which appliances use the most power.
- Compare with your actual bill. If your discom’s FPPAS or rates differ, open “Tariff rates used” and correct them.
The maths
How it’s calculated
Units / month = Σ (qty × watts × hours a day) × days ÷ 1,000
Energy charge = units billed slab by slab (telescopic)
Bill = energy + fixed charge + FPPAS + electricity duty − rebate
Chhattisgarh: fixed charge ₹20 per kW of sanctioned load (₹30 for the 5–10 kW part); duty 11% of energy charges; FPPAS as a % of energy charges. Bill rounded to the nearest ₹10.
Madhya Pradesh: fixed charge is a flat amount up to 150 units, then ₹30 (urban) or ₹28 (rural) for every 15 units or part of 15 (each counts as 0.1 kW); duty 9% up to 100 units, 12% above; FPPAS 5.063% of energy charges.
Worked example
250 units a month in Raipur vs Bhopal
Raipur (CSPDCL), 3 kW load: energy = 100 × ₹4.40 + 100 × ₹4.50 + 50 × ₹6.00 = ₹1,190; fixed = 3 × ₹20 = ₹60; duty = 11% × ₹1,190 = ₹131. Before FPPAS and any rebate: about ₹1,380. Under M-URJA (201–400 units), half the charge on the first 200 units — ₹445 — is rebated.
Bhopal (urban): energy = 50 × ₹4.71 + 100 × ₹5.67 + 100 × ₹7.05 = ₹1,508; fixed = ⌈250 ÷ 15⌉ = 17 × ₹30 = ₹510; FPPAS 5.063% = ₹76; duty 12% = ₹181. Total ≈ ₹2,275.
Typical wattage of home appliances
| Appliance | Typical watts | Typical use | Units / month |
|---|---|---|---|
| LED bulb | 7–12 W | 6 h/day | ≈ 1.6–2.2 |
| Ceiling fan (regular / BLDC) | 70–80 W / 28–35 W | 12 h/day | ≈ 27 / 11 |
| Air cooler | 150–250 W | 10 h/day | ≈ 60 |
| 1.5 ton inverter AC (5-star) | ≈ 900–1,500 W while running | 8 h/day | ≈ 215–360 |
| Refrigerator (double door) | ≈ 1–1.5 units a day | 24 h | ≈ 30–45 |
| Geyser 15–25 L | 2,000 W | 45 min/day | ≈ 45 |
| Water pump (1 HP) | 750 W | 30 min/day | ≈ 11 |
| Washing machine | 400–500 W | 45 min/day | ≈ 10 |
| Television (LED 43") | 60–100 W | 4 h/day | ≈ 10 |
Indicative figures — the star label on your appliance gives its rated annual consumption.
