1. What is the Punjab Electricity Bill Calculation?

The Punjab electricity bill calculation uses a slab-based system where different rates apply to different consumption levels. The total cost is the sum of consumption in each slab multiplied by the respective rate, plus any fixed charges.

2. How Does the Calculator Work?

The calculator uses the formula:

\[ \text{Cost} = \sum(\text{Slab}_i \times \text{Rate}_i) + \text{Fixed} \]

Where:

\( \text{Slab}_i \) — Energy consumption in slab i (kWh)
\( \text{Rate}_i \) — Rate per kWh in slab i (₹/kWh)
\( \text{Fixed} \) — Fixed charge (₹)

Explanation: The calculation accounts for tiered pricing where different consumption levels have different rates, plus any fixed monthly charges.

3. Importance of Accurate Bill Calculation

Details: Accurate electricity bill calculation helps consumers understand their consumption patterns, budget effectively, and identify potential savings through energy conservation.

4. Using the Calculator

Tips: Enter consumption for each slab in kWh, the corresponding rates in ₹/kWh, and any fixed charges. At least one slab must be filled. All values must be non-negative.
