How to use the calculator
- Enter your monthly consumption in kWh, or your previous and current meter readings.
- Choose your breaker size. Most homes use 20–99 A.
- You’ll see the estimated bill, with the energy charge, meter fee and VAT listed separately.
The residential tariff
| Monthly consumption | Price per kWh |
|---|---|
| First 6,000 kWh | 18 halalas (0.18 SAR) |
| Above 6,000 kWh | 30 halalas (0.30 SAR) |
| Breaker size | Monthly meter fee |
|---|---|
| 20–99 A | SAR 10 |
| 100–199 A | SAR 15 |
| 200–299 A | SAR 21 |
| 300–399 A | SAR 22 |
| 400 A | SAR 25 |
| Above 400 A | SAR 30 |
Examples
| Consumption | Energy | Meter fee | VAT (15%) | Total |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1,500 kWh | 270.00 | 10.00 | 42.00 | 322.00 |
| 4,000 kWh | 720.00 | 10.00 | 109.50 | 839.50 |
| 7,000 kWh | 1,380.00 | 10.00 | 208.50 | 1,598.50 |
For 7,000 kWh: 6,000 × 0.18 = 1,080, plus 1,000 × 0.30 = 300, which gives 1,380. Add the 10 SAR meter fee, then 15% VAT.
