Privacy Policy

Last updated: 23 August 2026

ElectricityBillcalc.com ("we", "us", "our") publishes free electricity bill, appliance cost, and solar savings calculators for Indian consumers. This Privacy Policy explains what information is collected when you use this website, how it is used, and the choices available to you. By using this site you agree to the practices described below.

1. Information We Do Not Collect

The bill, appliance, and solar calculators on this site run entirely in your browser (client-side JavaScript). The state, DISCOM, units consumed, meter readings, connection type, and any other figures you enter into a calculator are not transmitted to our servers, not stored in a database, and not shared with any third party. If you close the tab or refresh the page, that input is gone.

2. Information Collected Automatically

Like most websites, standard technical information may be collected automatically when you visit, including:

  • Approximate location (state/city level, derived from IP address)
  • Browser type, device type, and operating system
  • Pages visited, time spent on page, and referring website
  • IP address (used for security, analytics, and fraud prevention)

This information is collected through standard web server logs and, if enabled, analytics tools such as Google Analytics, and is used only in aggregate to understand how the site is used and to keep it running reliably — never to identify you individually.

3. Cookies

Cookies are small text files stored on your device. This site may use:

  • Essential cookies — for basic site functionality (none of these track you across other sites).
  • Analytics cookies — to understand aggregate traffic patterns (e.g. Google Analytics).
  • Advertising cookies — set by Google AdSense and its advertising partners, described below.

You can disable cookies in your browser settings at any time; doing so may affect some site functionality but the calculators themselves will continue to work.

4. Google AdSense & Third-Party Advertising

This site may display advertisements served by Google AdSense and other third-party ad networks. These vendors use cookies (including the DoubleClick cookie) to serve ads based on your prior visits to this and other websites.

We do not control the cookies set by third-party advertisers; their use of cookies is subject to their own privacy policies, not this one.

5. Children's Privacy

This site is not directed at children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided us with personal information, please contact us and we will remove it.

6. Third-Party Links

Some pages link to official DISCOM portals, government schemes (e.g. PM Surya Ghar Muft Bijli Yojana), or other external resources for your convenience. We are not responsible for the privacy practices or content of external sites.

7. Your Rights

You may request details of any data associated with your visits, ask us to delete analytics data tied to your IP address, or opt out of non-essential cookies at any time by adjusting your browser settings or using the opt-out links in Section 4. To make a request, use the details on our Contact page.

8. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices or for legal reasons. The "Last updated" date at the top of this page will always reflect the most recent revision. Material changes will be reflected on this page; we encourage you to review it periodically.

9. Contact

Questions about this Privacy Policy can be sent via our Contact page.

This page is provided as a general-purpose privacy policy template for a client-side calculator tool and does not constitute legal advice. Laws applicable to your specific business (including India's Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023, and any jurisdictions your visitors come from) may impose additional requirements. Please have this reviewed by a qualified professional before relying on it for compliance purposes such as a Google AdSense application.
Energy Saving Guide

Practical Ways to Reduce Your Electricity Bill

Simple household adjustments can reduce your monthly power consumption and keep you in lower tariff slabs.

❄️

AC at 24°C–26°C

Each degree higher saves ~6% electricity. Running at 24°C instead of 18°C can lower your monthly cooling bill by ~24%.

🌀

5-Star BLDC Fans

Brushless DC (BLDC) motor fans consume only 28W compared to 75W for traditional ceiling fans, cutting fan power usage by over 60%.

Kill Standby Vampires

Appliances in standby mode (TVs, set-top boxes, chargers) consume 5–10% idle electricity. Turn them off at the main switch.

☀️

PM Surya Ghar Solar

Residential rooftop solar installations receive up to ₹78,000 in central subsidies, generating free green power with net-metering.

🧊

Geyser & Fridge Care

Clean refrigerator condenser coils annually and set geysers to 50°C with an auto-timer to prevent overheating and energy waste.

💡

100% LED Lighting

Energy-efficient 9W LED bulbs output the same light as 60W incandescent lamps while consuming 85% less electricity.

Methodology & Breakdown

How Electricity Bill Estimation Works in India

Full Calculation Formula →
01

Telescopic Slabs

Consumed units (kWh) are split into progressive tariff tiers with respective unit rates.

02

Fixed Demand Fees

Monthly fixed charges are calculated per kW (or kVA) of sanctioned load.

03

Surcharges & Duty

Fuel Adjustment Charges (FAC/FPPPA) and state electricity duty percentages are added.

04

Subsidies Applied

State government zero-bill / free unit schemes (e.g. Gruha Jyothi, DERC) are deducted for the final estimate.
