1. What is the Tamil Nadu Electricity Bill Calculation?

The Tamil Nadu electricity bill calculation uses a slab-based system where different rates apply to different consumption levels. The total cost is calculated by summing the products of energy consumed in each slab and its corresponding rate, plus any fixed charges.

2. How Does the Calculator Work?

The calculator uses the formula:

\[ Cost = \sum (Slab_i \times Rate_i) + Fixed \]

Where:

\( Slab_i \) — Energy consumed in slab i (kWh)
\( Rate_i \) — Rate per kWh in slab i (₹/kWh)
\( Fixed \) — Fixed charge (₹)

Explanation: The calculation accounts for different consumption slabs with varying rates, plus any fixed charges that apply regardless of consumption.

3. Importance of Electricity Bill Calculation

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

4. Using the Calculator

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