Peak load (kW)

Sum of all appliance wattages (× quantity). Use this to size your MCB, inverter, or sanctioned load with your DISCOM.

Predicted units

Monthly energy consumption based on your daily hours of use. Compare to your last bill to spot overuse.

Estimated bill

Rough cost at your DISCOM's effective rate. For bill-exact slabs & FAC, open the main calculator.

How we pick the default hours

  • Air Conditioner: 8 h/day (summer average across 6 months).
  • Refrigerator: 24 h/day (always on — compressor cycles ~⅓ of the time).
  • Ceiling fan: 10 h/day during warm months.
  • Geyser: 1 h/day average (winter-weighted).
  • Lighting: 5 h/day total household lights.
  • Water pump: 1 h/day for ground-level homes.
  • Washing machine: 1 cycle/day (~1 h equivalent).
  • Microwave: 20 min/day (0.3 h) for reheating.

Every field is editable — drag the slider to match your household.

Frequently Asked Questions

Answers to the most common electricity bill questions in India.

What is an electrical load calculation?
A load calculation adds up the wattage of every appliance in your home, multiplied by how many hours you use each one per day. The result tells you (a) your peak connected load in kW — used to size your sanctioned load / MCB / inverter / solar system — and (b) your monthly energy consumption in units (kWh).
How does this tool predict monthly units?
For each appliance: units per month = wattage × hours per day × quantity × days ÷ 1000. We sum these for every appliance you add to get your household total. Default hours are typical Indian averages — edit them to match your actual usage.
What sanctioned load do I need?
Your sanctioned load (in kW) should comfortably exceed the peak connected load shown above. Most Indian homes are sanctioned 2–5 kW. If your peak load is approaching your sanction, you may face MCB trips or demand-charge penalties — contact your DISCOM to upgrade.
Why are average hours pre-filled?
We use India-specific averages so the tool gives a reasonable answer out of the box. A ceiling fan at 10 h/day, a fridge at 24 h/day (it cycles, but is always connected), and an AC at 8 h/day in summer are typical starting points. Adjust the slider for each appliance to match your reality.
How accurate is the predicted bill?
This tool uses a flat ₹/unit rate, so the predicted cost is a good estimate but not bill-exact. Your real bill also includes slab rates, fixed charges, fuel surcharge (FAC) and electricity duty. For bill-level accuracy use our main calculator with your DISCOM selected.
