how to calculate your bill
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)

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