Estimated monthly electricity bill

The selected consumption tariff and VAT were applied to monthly usage.

Monthly consumption1,189.2kWh
Energy charge214.06 SAR
VAT32.11 SAR
Estimated total246.16 SAR
First-tier usage1,189.2 kWh × 0.18 SAR
Second-tier usage0 kWh × 0.3 SAR
Entered additional fees0 SAR
Calculation method

Consumption = Σ(watts × quantity × daily hours × 30) ÷ 1000, followed by tariff tiers and VAT.

Engineering notes
  • Residential default tariff: SAR 0.18 through 6000 kWh, then SAR 0.30 above it.
  • The actual bill can differ because of meter fees, reading periods, and adjustments.

This is a planning and comparison estimate. Final protection and conductor selection requires review by a licensed engineer or electrician, site-condition checks, manufacturer instructions, and the applicable code.

Calculation guide

How is the estimated bill calculated?

Enter actual meter kWh or calculate it from equipment quantity, watts, operating hours, and days. The calculator then applies the selected tariff category, tiers, VAT, and entered additions.

This is an estimate rather than the utility billing engine. Reading-cycle length, adjustments, fees, current account status, and actual tariff treatment can change the final invoice.

Bill estimation steps

  1. Choose appliances or direct kWh.
  2. Select the correct tariff category.
  3. Review daily operating hours.
  4. Enter VAT and any additions.
  5. Compare scenarios to find major energy users.

Why estimates differ from invoices

  • Different meter-reading periods.
  • AC compressor cycling and outdoor temperature.
  • Variable real equipment power.
  • Fees or adjustments not entered.

Frequently asked questions

Consumption and cost frequently asked questions

How do I calculate appliance kWh?

kWh = power in kW × operating hours × days, adjusted when the equipment does not run at full power continuously.

Why is the estimate different from my bill?

Reading periods, tariffs, fees, VAT, adjustments, and actual usage can differ. The calculator is for planning and comparison.

How much electricity does an AC use?

It depends on electrical input, compressor runtime, weather, insulation, and thermostat setting rather than switched-on hours alone.

Should I use meter kWh or appliances?

Meter kWh is better for cost accuracy; an appliance schedule is better for identifying consumption sources.
