The APSPDCL Electricity Bill Calculator is an online utility designed for consumers served by the Southern Power Distribution Company of Andhra Pradesh Limited. It helps domestic households, commercial establishments, industrial consumers, and other supported connection categories estimate their monthly electricity expenses before receiving the official bill.
Using the supplied Andhra Pradesh Electricity Regulatory Commission FY 2026–27 tariff information, the calculator supports LT-I(A) Domestic telescopic slabs, the configured Jagjeevan Jyothi Scheme benefit, LT-II(A) Commercial rates, LT-III(A) Industrial charges, slab-based Customer Charges, sanctioned-load-based fixed demand charges, and Electricity Duty at ₹0.06 per billed unit.
The tool is intended for eligible APSPDCL consumers across Tirupati, Nellore, Kadapa, Chittoor, Anantapur, Kurnool, and other Southern Andhra Pradesh service areas.
Monthly electricity usage can vary significantly between consumers. A small household may remain within the lower domestic slabs, while a residence using air conditioners, water pumps, refrigerators, and other appliances may enter a higher tariff bracket. Shops, offices, hotels, clinics, workshops, and industrial units follow separate tariff structures.
The calculator simplifies this process by showing slab-wise energy charges, Customer Charges, fixed demand charges, Jagjeevan Jyothi subsidy adjustment, Electricity Duty, and the estimated net payable amount in a transparent itemized report.
What Is the APSPDCL Electricity Bill Calculator?
The APSPDCL Electricity Bill Calculator is an online bill estimation tool for electricity consumers served by the Southern Power Distribution Company of Andhra Pradesh Limited.
It calculates an expected monthly bill using total electricity consumption, connection category, sanctioned load, and domestic subsidy eligibility.
Unlike a basic calculator that multiplies every consumed unit by a single electricity rate, this tool follows the supplied LT-I(A) Domestic telescopic tariff structure. Monthly consumption is divided across several slabs, and only the units falling within a particular slab are calculated at that slab’s rate.
The calculator also identifies the Customer Charge according to the final consumption bracket and calculates the fixed demand charge using the sanctioned load entered by the consumer.
APSPDCL LT-I(A) Domestic Telescopic Tariff Slabs
Under the supplied FY 2026–27 tariff information, LT-I(A) Domestic consumers use the following monthly energy rates:
- 0–30 units: ₹1.90 per unit
- 31–75 units: ₹3.00 per unit
- 76–125 units: ₹4.50 per unit
- 126–225 units: ₹6.00 per unit
- 226–400 units: ₹8.75 per unit
- Above 400 units: ₹9.75 per unit
For example, when a domestic consumer uses 220 units, the complete consumption is not multiplied by ₹6.00. The calculator distributes the units as follows:
- The first 30 units are calculated at ₹1.90 per unit.
- The next 45 units are calculated at ₹3.00 per unit.
- The next 50 units are calculated at ₹4.50 per unit.
- The remaining 95 units are calculated at ₹6.00 per unit.
This produces a gross energy charge of:
- First 30 units: 30 × ₹1.90 = ₹57
- Next 45 units: 45 × ₹3.00 = ₹135
- Next 50 units: 50 × ₹4.50 = ₹225
- Remaining 95 units: 95 × ₹6.00 = ₹570
- Total energy charge: ₹987
The applicable Customer Charge, sanctioned-load-based fixed demand charge, and per-unit Electricity Duty are then added separately.
Customer Charges for Domestic Connections
The supplied domestic Customer Charge depends on the final monthly consumption bracket:
- 0–30 units: ₹25 per month
- 31–75 units: ₹30 per month
- 76–125 units: ₹45 per month
- 126–225 units: ₹50 per month
- 226–400 units: ₹55 per month
- Above 400 units: ₹55 per month
A household using 220 units therefore receives a ₹50 Customer Charge because its total consumption falls within the 126–225-unit bracket.
Customer Charges are not calculated on each separate slab. The final monthly consumption determines the applicable fixed Customer Charge.
Domestic Fixed Demand Charge
The supplied LT-I(A) Domestic fixed demand charge is ₹10 per kW per month.
For example:
- 1 kW sanctioned load: 1 × ₹10 = ₹10
- 2 kW sanctioned load: 2 × ₹10 = ₹20
- 5 kW sanctioned load: 5 × ₹10 = ₹50
Consumers should enter the sanctioned load printed on their latest APSPDCL bill or connection document. Estimating the value from installed appliances may result in an incorrect bill calculation.
How the Jagjeevan Jyothi Scheme Works
The calculator supports the supplied Jagjeevan Jyothi Scheme configuration for eligible SC/ST domestic consumers.
Under the provided calculation rule, eligible registered beneficiaries using up to 200 electricity units during a monthly billing cycle may receive a 100% subsidy benefit and an estimated net bill of ₹0.
- Consumption up to 200 units: The calculator computes the gross bill and applies the configured subsidy for an eligible beneficiary.
- Consumption above 200 units: Standard domestic billing applies without the configured free-unit benefit.
- Commercial and industrial categories: The domestic subsidy does not apply.
The subsidy option should only be enabled when the consumer is officially registered and eligible. Selecting the checkbox in the calculator does not independently confirm government eligibility.
For transparency, the detailed report can display gross energy charges, Customer Charges, fixed demand charges, Electricity Duty, subsidy adjustment, and the resulting estimated payable amount separately.
Example: Eligible Domestic Consumer Using 180 Units
For 180 units with a sanctioned load of 2 kW:
- First 30 units: 30 × ₹1.90 = ₹57
- Next 45 units: 45 × ₹3.00 = ₹135
- Next 50 units: 50 × ₹4.50 = ₹225
- Remaining 55 units: 55 × ₹6.00 = ₹330
- Total energy charge: ₹747
- Customer Charge: ₹50
- Fixed demand charge: 2 × ₹10 = ₹20
- Electricity Duty: 180 × ₹0.06 = ₹10.80
- Gross estimated amount: ₹827.80
- Configured subsidy: Applied for an eligible beneficiary
- Estimated net bill: ₹0 when all scheme conditions are satisfied
Electricity Duty Calculation
The supplied APSPDCL Electricity Duty is ₹0.06 per billed unit, equivalent to 6 paise per unit.
For example:
- 100 units: 100 × ₹0.06 = ₹6
- 220 units: 220 × ₹0.06 = ₹13.20
- 500 units: 500 × ₹0.06 = ₹30
The calculator displays Electricity Duty separately instead of combining it silently with the energy charge.
Supported APSPDCL Connection Categories
The calculator can support the following categories using the supplied tariff information:
- LT-I(A) Domestic
- LT-I(A) Domestic with Jagjeevan Jyothi eligibility
- LT-II(A) Commercial
- LT-III(A) Industrial General
- LT-IV(A) Institutional Utilities after tariff configuration
- LT-V(B) Aquaculture after tariff configuration
Specific LT-IV(A) Institutional Utilities and LT-V(B) Aquaculture tariff rates were not included in the supplied data. These categories should only be activated after their applicable energy rates, fixed charges, duty rules, and subsidy conditions have been configured.

- Detailed report: Displays every available bill component separately for viewing, printing, or downloading.
How the Estimated APSPDCL Bill Is Prepared
The calculator first identifies the selected connection category, monthly consumption, sanctioned load, and subsidy status.
Domestic consumption is divided across the applicable telescopic slabs. The Customer Charge is selected according to total usage, while the fixed demand charge is calculated using sanctioned load.
The configured Electricity Duty is then calculated for every billed unit. Eligible Jagjeevan Jyothi beneficiaries using up to 200 units receive the supplied subsidy adjustment.
The result remains an estimate. An official APSPDCL bill may include arrears, delayed payment surcharge, meter charges, security-deposit adjustments, subsidy corrections, penalties, rounding differences, or updated regulatory components.
Why Is Our APSPDCL Electricity Bill Calculator Different From Other Tools?
An Andhra Pradesh electricity bill cannot always be estimated by multiplying total monthly consumption by one electricity rate. Domestic consumers follow telescopic energy slabs, Customer Charges depend on the final consumption bracket, fixed demand charges depend on sanctioned load, and Electricity Duty is added separately for every billed unit.
The APSPDCL Electricity Bill Calculator processes each billing component individually. It distributes domestic consumption across the applicable LT-I(A) slabs, selects the correct Customer Charge, calculates the per-kW fixed demand charge, checks Jagjeevan Jyothi eligibility, adds Electricity Duty, and displays an itemized estimated bill.
| Feature | APSPDCL Calculator | Basic Calculator |
|---|---|---|
| Domestic Energy Calculation | Divides units across six telescopic slabs | May multiply all units by one rate |
| Jagjeevan Jyothi | Checks beneficiary status and 200-unit limit | May apply free units to ineligible consumers |
| Customer Charges | Selects ₹25–₹55 according to total usage | May ignore the consumption bracket |
| Electricity Duty | Calculates ₹0.06 for every billed unit | May exclude statutory charges |
APSPDCL LT-I(A) Domestic Tariff Calculation
| Monthly Consumption Slab | Energy Rate | Customer Charge |
|---|---|---|
| 0–30 units | ₹1.90/unit | ₹25 |
| 31–75 units | ₹3.00/unit | ₹30 |
| 76–125 units | ₹4.50/unit | ₹45 |
| 126–225 units | ₹6.00/unit | ₹50 |
| 226–400 units | ₹8.75/unit | ₹55 |
| Above 400 units | ₹9.75/unit | ₹55 |
The Customer Charge is selected according to total monthly consumption. Energy charges, however, are calculated telescopically by distributing units across every applicable slab.
How the Jagjeevan Jyothi Subsidy Is Calculated
Under the supplied calculator configuration, eligible registered SC/ST Domestic LT-I(A) beneficiaries using up to 200 units during one monthly billing cycle may receive a 100% subsidy and an estimated net bill of ₹0.
- Consumption up to 200 units: The gross domestic bill is calculated before applying the configured subsidy.
- Consumption above 200 units: Standard domestic billing applies without subsidy.
- Commercial and industrial connections: Jagjeevan Jyothi does not apply.
- Eligibility: The subsidy checkbox should only be enabled for an officially registered beneficiary.
The detailed report should show the gross energy charge, Customer Charge, fixed demand charge, Electricity Duty, subsidy deduction, and estimated net payable amount separately.
Example: Eligible Domestic Consumer Using 200 Units
Suppose an eligible beneficiary uses exactly 200 units with a sanctioned load of 2 kW.
- First 30 units: 30 × ₹1.90 = ₹57
- Next 45 units: 45 × ₹3.00 = ₹135
- Next 50 units: 50 × ₹4.50 = ₹225
- Remaining 75 units: 75 × ₹6.00 = ₹450
- Total energy charge: ₹867
- Customer Charge: ₹50
- Fixed demand charge: 2 × ₹10 = ₹20
- Electricity Duty: 200 × ₹0.06 = ₹12
- Gross estimated amount: ₹949
- Configured Jagjeevan Jyothi subsidy: ₹949
- Estimated net bill: ₹0 when all eligibility conditions are satisfied
Example: Domestic Consumer Using 220 Units
Since consumption exceeds 200 units, the configured Jagjeevan Jyothi benefit is not available.
- First 30 units: ₹57
- Next 45 units: ₹135
- Next 50 units: ₹225
- Remaining 95 units: ₹570
- Total energy charge: ₹987
- Customer Charge: ₹50
- Fixed demand charge for 2 kW: ₹20
- Electricity Duty: 220 × ₹0.06 = ₹13.20
- Estimated payable amount: ₹1,070.20
This example shows why monitoring consumption near the 200-unit subsidy threshold can be important for eligible beneficiaries.
Example: Domestic Consumer Using 400 Units
For 400 units with a sanctioned load of 3 kW:
- First 30 units: 30 × ₹1.90 = ₹57
- Units 31–75: 45 × ₹3.00 = ₹135
- Units 76–125: 50 × ₹4.50 = ₹225
- Units 126–225: 100 × ₹6.00 = ₹600
- Units 226–400: 175 × ₹8.75 = ₹1,531.25
- Total energy charge: ₹2,548.25
- Customer Charge: ₹55
- Fixed demand charge: 3 × ₹10 = ₹30
- Electricity Duty: 400 × ₹0.06 = ₹24
- Estimated total: ₹2,657.25
LT-II(A) Commercial Flat-Bracket Tariff
The supplied LT-II(A) Commercial rates are described as slab-wise flat rates. Under this configuration, the final monthly consumption bracket determines the rate applied to the complete consumption.
| Monthly Consumption | Flat Energy Rate |
|---|---|
| 0–50 units | ₹5.40/unit |
| 51–100 units | ₹7.65/unit |
| 101–300 units | ₹9.05/unit |
| 301–500 units | ₹9.60/unit |
| Above 500 units | ₹9.95/unit |
Example: Commercial Consumer Using 350 Units
Suppose a commercial connection uses 350 units with a sanctioned load of 5 kW.
- Applicable flat rate: ₹9.60 per unit
- Energy charge: 350 × ₹9.60 = ₹3,360
- Fixed demand charge: 5 × ₹75 = ₹375
- Electricity Duty: 350 × ₹0.06 = ₹21
- Estimated total: ₹3,756
The official bill should be checked to confirm whether the applicable commercial tariff uses flat-bracket or telescopic treatment for the consumer’s exact category.
LT-III(A) Industrial General Tariff
- Energy rate: ₹6.70 per unit
- Fixed demand charge: ₹75 per kW per month
- Electricity Duty: ₹0.06 per billed unit
- Jagjeevan Jyothi subsidy: Not applicable
Example: Industrial Consumer Using 600 Units
For an industrial connection using 600 units with an 8 kW sanctioned load:
- Energy charge: 600 × ₹6.70 = ₹4,020
- Fixed demand charge: 8 × ₹75 = ₹600
- Electricity Duty: 600 × ₹0.06 = ₹36
- Estimated total: ₹4,656
