Bill Calculator FAQs

Everything you need to know about electricity bills.

Why is my bill different each month?
Your bill varies based on usage (which changes with weather), the number of days in the billing cycle, and any rate changes. Summer bills are typically highest due to air conditioning use.
What are TDU charges?
Transmission and Distribution Utility (TDU) charges cover the cost of maintaining power lines, meters, and infrastructure. These charges are the same regardless of your electricity provider.
How accurate is this calculator?
This calculator provides estimates based on typical rates and charges. Your actual bill may vary based on your specific plan, usage patterns, and current rates. Always refer to your official bill for exact amounts.
Can I reduce my TDU charges?
TDU charges are regulated and non-negotiable. However, you can reduce your overall bill by using less electricity, which reduces both energy and delivery charges proportionally.
