1. What is Bangladesh Electricity Bill Calculator?

Definition: This calculator estimates electricity bills based on units consumed, rate per unit, and fixed charges according to Bangladesh standards.

Purpose: It helps consumers and businesses estimate their electricity costs in Bangladeshi Taka (BDT).

2. How Does the Calculator Work?

The calculator uses the formula:

Where:

• \( \text{Bill} \) — Total electricity bill (BDT)
• \( \text{Units} \) — Electricity consumed (kWh)
• \( \text{Rate} \) — Cost per unit (BDT/kWh)
• \( \text{Fixed Charge} \) — Monthly fixed cost (BDT)

Explanation: The units consumed are multiplied by the rate per unit, then the fixed charge is added to get the total bill.
