How Indian Electricity Bills Are Calculated
Indian DISCOMs use a progressive slab tariff system. Lower units are charged at a cheaper rate; consumption beyond each slab threshold falls into the next, costlier bracket. Fixed charges apply every month regardless of usage, and a 5% electricity duty is added on the subtotal.
Find Your DISCOM
Your electricity bill lists the distribution company (e.g., BESCOM, MSEDCL, TNEB). Select the matching board from our dropdown.
Read Units from Bill
Locate "Units Consumed" or "kWh" on your latest bill. This is the difference between current and previous meter reading.
Enter & Calculate
Enter the units in our calculator and hit Calculate. You'll see a slab-wise breakdown in under a second.
Analyse & Reduce
Review which slab you fall into. If in a higher slab, even 20–30 unit reduction saves ₹200–400 per month.
2026 Tariff Facts Across India
Electricity tariffs vary dramatically across Indian states. Maharashtra consumers in the highest slab pay 6× more per unit than Telangana consumers in the lowest slab. Here are the key benchmark figures for 2026.
₹1.45/unit
Lowest slab rate (Telangana, 0–50 units)
₹9.56/unit
Highest slab rate (Maharashtra, 500+ units)
₹100–₹150
Typical fixed charge per month across states
5%

Why does my effective rate differ from the tariff chart?
Published rates are base tariffs. Your actual bill also includes Fixed Charges, Fuel Surcharge Adjustment (FSA) of ₹0.50–₹1.50/unit, Electricity Duty (5–10%), and meter rent. Your effective rate = (Total Bill ÷ Total Units).

How Indian Slab Tariffs Work
Indian electricity bills follow a progressive slab tariff system. The first block of units (e.g., 0–100 units) is billed at the lowest rate. Units above that threshold fall into the next bracket at a higher rate — and so on. This means consuming even 1 extra unit beyond a slab boundary raises your effective per-unit rate for those extra units.
To calculate: (1) identify how many units fall in each slab, (2) multiply units × rate for each slab, (3) add fixed charge + 5% tax. Our calculator handles this automatically for all 25 boards.
Reduce Bills Without Turning Off AC
The single best way to drop a slab is pairing your AC with a 5-star BLDC fan. Set AC to 24°C instead of 18°C — BEE data shows 6% energy saving per degree rise. The fan circulates cold air efficiently, making 24°C feel like 20°C. High-consumption households save ₹800–₹1,500/month this way.
Voltage stabilizers also protect against spikes that cause compressors to draw excess current — particularly useful in states with frequent fluctuations like UP, Bihar, and parts of Rajasthan.
