The following steps will enable you to calculate the approximate monthly electricity bill for domestic customers.
 
Step 1: Calculate Electricity Cost

Units used (kWh) = Present Month’s Reading – Previous Month’s Reading
Electricity Cost VEP (VAT Exclusive) – Units used x $0.2059*
 
(*Note: This is the Domestic Lifeline Tariff. This is indicated behind your monthly bill. For consumers whose average consumption is greater than 250kWh per month, the tariff rate is $0.2263).
 
Step 2: Add VAT for Total Bill

VAT = Electricity Cost VEP x 12.5%
Total Bill VIP (VAT Inclusive Price) = Electricity Cost VEP + VAT
 
Step 3: Total Amount Due

Total Amount Due = Total Bill VIP + Amount Overdue and Relating to Prior Bills
 
Calculation

Step 1: Calculate Electricity Cost

Units used = 1494kWh – 1384kWh = 110kWh
 
Electricity Cost = 110kWh x $0.2059 = $22.64
 
Step 2: Add VAT for Total Bill

VAT = $22.64 x 12.5% = $2.83*
Total Bill VIP = $25.47
Less VAT Rebate: $ 2.83
Total Current Charges (VIP) $22.64
 
*Note: For all Domestic Customers there is a VAT rebate for the first $30 on the Electricity Cost. In this bill, the VAT rebate is $2.83)
 
Step 3: Add Amount Overdue for Total Amount Due

Total Amount Due = $22.64 + $21.51 = $44.15
