Expert Guide

How to find your unit rate on your electricity bill?

Your published DISCOM rate and your effective bill rate are often different. Here's a 4-step method used by HVAC professionals to calculate the true cost you're paying.

01
Find "Billing Details"
Locate the Billing Details or Energy Charges section on your bill.
02
Divide Total Charges ÷ Units
Divide Total Energy Charges (₹) by Total Units Consumed (kWh) to get your base rate.
03
Add FSA Surcharge
Look for "Fuel Surcharge Adjustment" (FSA) — adds ₹0.50–₹1.00 in 2026.
04
Your effective rate
Effective Rate = (Total Energy Charges + FSA) ÷ Total Units. This is what 1 kWh actually costs you.
