โšกEstimate your whole home's bill

Most bill calculators only handle one appliance. This one lets you build a full list of everything in your home โ€” add from common presets or your own devices โ€” and instantly see the estimated bill, the total units (kWh) used, and, most usefully, which appliances are quietly draining the most money.

๐Ÿ”Find your energy hogs

  • Add each appliance with its wattage, hours of use per day, and quantity.
  • The result ranks appliances by cost so you can see where the money goes.
  • Adjust the billing days, per-unit tariff, and any fixed charge to match your bill.
  • Try cutting an appliance's daily hours to see the saving before you change a habit.

๐ŸงฎThe formula

Units (kWh) = Watts ร— Hours/day ร— Quantity ร— Days รท 1000
Bill = Units ร— Rate per unit + Fixed charge

A โ€œunitโ€ of electricity is one kilowatt-hour (kWh) โ€” a 1,000-watt device running for one hour. Divide watt-hours by 1,000 to get units, multiply by your tariff, and add any fixed charge to get the bill.

A 1,500 W air conditioner used 8 hours a day for 30 days uses 1,500 ร— 8 ร— 30 รท 1000 = 360 units. At โ‚น8 a unit that's โ‚น2,880 โ€” often the single biggest line on a summer bill.

๐Ÿ’กCut your bill

  • Heating and cooling (AC, geyser, heater) usually dominate โ€” target these first.
  • Swap high-wattage bulbs for LEDs; the wattage drop is dramatic.
  • Unplug or switch off standby devices โ€” they add up over a month.
  • Set the AC a degree or two higher and watch the estimate fall.
