Why is electricity bill calculator required?

Electricity Bill Calculator gives us a picture of energy consumption and monthly electrical expsenses which ultimately leads to better utilization of electricity.

What is Power Rating?

Power rating is the rating expressing the maximum power which can be safely and continuously handled by a device. Power rating is represented in terms of Watts (W).

Common residential loads and their power ratings:

Appliances

Steps for Electricity Bill Calculator:

Energy consumption by each load

First, we need to calculate the energy consumed by each load by using the formula given below

energy consumption(Wh) = power * quantity * time of use

Electricity cost

Then calculate the total energy cost by using these formulas

electricity cost(per day)Ā =
(Ī£ energy consumption)*cost per unit / 1000
electricity cost(per month) = electricity cost(per day) * 30

Where,

Ī£ energy consumption = Sum of energy consumption for each load

1 Unit = 1 Kilowatt-hour (KWh)

Solved Example:

Let us consider the following data provided by user:

Cost per unit=$2 per unit

SOLUTION

Step 1: energy consumption by each load

Load 1 (saver):

energy consumptionĀ = 18 * 6 * ( 18 +
30 / 60
) = 1998 wh

Load 2 (fan):

energy consumptionĀ = 60 * 3 * ( 12 +
00 / 60
) = 2160 wh

Load 3 (fridge):

energy consumptionĀ = 120 * 1 * ( 9 +
00 / 60
) = 1080 wh

Ā 

Step 2: Electricity Cost

electricity cost(per day)Ā =
(1998 + 2160 + 1080) * 2 / 1000
= $10.476

electricity cost(per month) = $10.476 * 30 = $314.28
