1. What is Kerala Electricity Bill Calculation?

The Kerala Electricity Bill Calculation estimates the total cost of electricity consumption based on Kerala's tiered pricing system. It calculates the bill amount by multiplying consumption (kWh) with the applicable tiered rate and adding fixed fees.

2. How Does the Calculator Work?

The calculator uses the formula:

Where:

• \( kWh \) — Electricity consumption in kilowatt-hours
• \( tiered\ rate \) — Rate per kWh based on consumption tier (INR)
• \( fees \) — Fixed charges and other fees (INR)

Explanation: Kerala uses a progressive tariff system where the per-unit rate increases with higher consumption levels.

3. Understanding Kerala's Tiered Rate System

Details: Kerala's electricity board (KSEB) uses a tiered pricing structure:

• 0-50 units: ₹3.15 per unit
• 51-100 units: ₹3.70 per unit
• 101-150 units: ₹4.80 per unit
• 151-200 units: ₹6.40 per unit
• 201-250 units: ₹7.60 per unit
• 251-300 units: ₹8.00 per unit
• Above 300 units: ₹9.00 per unit

4. Using the Calculator

Tips: Enter your electricity consumption in kWh and any fixed fees. The calculator will automatically determine the appropriate tiered rate and calculate your total bill amount.
