Hello Sobat TeknoBgt,
Apartment living has many benefits, one of which is the convenience of not having to deal with utility bills individually. However, that doesn’t mean you don’t have to worry about them at all. This article will guide you on how to calculate your electricity bills in your apartment.
1. Membaca Meteran Listrik
The first step in calculating your electricity bill is to read the meter accurately. In most apartments, the meters are located outside your unit or on the ground floor.
Usually, you will find two sets of numbers on your meter, the first one measures your unit’s consumption, and the second one is the general electricity consumption for the building. To calculate your bill, you need to focus on the first set of numbers.
Make sure you read the meter at the same time every month to have a consistent calculation.

Record the number | Take note of the current reading to compare it to the following month’s reading. |
2. Menerapkan Tarif Listrik
After you have recorded the meter reading, the next step is to apply the electricity tariff that applies to your apartment. The tariffs vary depending on the location, so make sure to check your bill or ask your landlord for the correct tariff.
The electric tariff is calculated based on the power capacity that is used in watt (W) and the duration of use in hours (h) in a month. The calculation formula is as follows:
Tariff = Power capacity (W) x hours (h) x tariff per kWh
2.1 Komponen tarif listrik
Here are some components of electricity tariffs that you need to know:
Komponen | Penjelasan |
---|---|
Biaya Beban | Has the formula of the capacity of the power used (VA) x the number of days in the month x the tariff. |
Biaya Energi Aktif | Has the formula of the active energy consumption (kWh) x the tariff. |
Biaya Energi Reaktif | Has the formula of the reactive energy consumption (kVARh) x the tariff. |
PPN dan PPH | Added value tax (PPN) and Income Tax (PPH) for a total of 10% of the total cost. |
3. Contoh Perhitungan Tagihan Listrik
To make things easier, let’s take an example of calculating an electricity bill for a unit that has a power capacity of 1,000 watts and is used for 12 hours a day in a month where the tariff per kWh is Rp 1,500.
First, let’s calculate the number of kWh used in a month:
1 kW = 1,000 W
Total power capacity = 1,000 W x 12 hours x 30 days = 360,000 Wh or 360 kWh
The next step is to apply the electricity tariff:
Total cost = 360 kWh x Rp 1,500 = Rp 540,000
Now that you have a total cost, add up the VAT and Income Tax:
Total cost = Rp 540,000 + (Rp 540,000 x 10%) = Rp 594,000
