The calculator allows you to choose to add GST at a rate of 5%. The GST is typically applied to the subtotal of the bill, which includes the energy charges and other fees.
The Fuel Surcharge, or Fuel Adjustment Charge (FAC), is a variable component added to your bill to reflect changes in the cost of fuel used for power generation. It allows DISCOMs to adjust for fluctuating fuel prices without needing a new tariff order.
This calculator is highly accurate for estimation, as it incorporates all major bill components. However, the actual bill may vary slightly due to minor local charges or changes in tariffs that the calculator’s presets may not account for. You should use the rates specific to your state and DISCOM for the most accurate results.
The tool calculates Energy Charges by applying the rate of each slab to the units consumed within that specific slab, and then summing up the results. For example, if you consume 300 units, the cost will be calculated for the first 100 units at the first slab rate, the next 100 units at the second slab rate, and the final 100 units at the third slab rate.
