💡 How to Use the Unit Price to Estimate Your Bill
Multiply your units by the slab rate, add fixed charges, then GST (18%), then add FCA (units × current FCA). Use our KE Bill Calculator for automatic calculation.
Example: For 350 units (non-protected): 350 × Rs 33.10 = Rs 11,585 + Rs 400 fixed = Rs 11,985 + 18% GST (Rs 2,157) = Rs 14,142 + FCA (350 × 3.2 = Rs 1,120) = Rs 15,262.
