Bill Calculations, Gas Costs and Checklists

Worked electricity bill examples, how to read your bill, LPG and PMUY costs, PNG versus LPG, rooftop solar under PM Surya Ghar and a bill-saving checklist.

Once you know the parts of a tariff, the next step is arithmetic. How much will 350 units cost in Delhi, and how does that change once the state subsidy is applied? What does a bi-monthly bill of 500 units come to under the Tamil Nadu slabs? How many LPG refills does a family use in a year, and is piped natural gas (PNG) cheaper where it is available? Will a 3 kW rooftop solar system under PM Surya Ghar pay back, and how does net metering show on the bill?

The guides here answer those questions with step-by-step examples. Real tariff figures are always labelled with the order they come from; everything else is an illustrative example to show the method. Change the inputs to your own bill in the calculators: the electricity bill estimator, the rooftop solar payback calculator and the cooking gas cost estimator.

Begin with the electricity bill calculation worked examples, then use how to read your electricity bill to match each line to your own statement.
