How do you calculate electricity bill from CT meter?
Take the amount of kWh that the meter states that you have used and multiply it by the cost of a kWh in your area.Another AnswerSubtract the energy meter reading from the previous billing period from that from the current billing period to determine the number of kilowatt hours used during that period. Multiply this difference by the cost per kilowatt hour charged by your energy provider. Note, however, some energy providers have a complicated billing system (tariff) in which the cost per kilowatt hour changes according to the amount of energy you use: x cents per kilowatt hour for the first so many kilowatt hours, y cents per kilowatt hour for the next so many kilowatt hours, and so on. Additionally, there may be a multiplication factor based on the changing price of fuel.
