Formula: Energy (kWh) = Power (Watts) × Time (hours) / 1000. How to calculate the bill from meter reading? To calculate your bill from meter readings, subtract the previous meter reading from the current reading to get the units consumed. Multiply the units by the tariff rate (in Rs/kWh) to determine the cost.

High bills may arise from fixed fees, non-bypassable charges, or increased electricity usage after solar installation. Homeowners can lower their bills by adding more solar panels or batteries to their system, which helps in increasing electricity production and storing excess power for peak hours.

Assuming an average TV wattage of 100 W: If you watch TV 1.5 hours per day, that's 1.05 kilowatt-hours (kWh) of electricity per week, 4.55 kWh per month, and 54.6 kWh per year. Running that same TV 3 hours per day comes to 2.1 kWh per week, 9.1 kWh per month, and 109.2 kWh per year.

For imperial meters, the calculation is the same, except we have to first convert a cubic feet (ft3) measurement into cubic metres. We do this by multiplying it by 2.83. We then multiply each kWh you use by your unit rate.

Thus, 250 units of electrical energy is equal to 9×108 joules.

After 12 months, you will receive a final statement of your billing cycle which is called a True-Up Statement. The statement provides your net energy charges and credits over the entire year and shows any final balance due.
