1. What is SUI Gas Bill Calculation?

The SUI Gas Bill calculation determines the amount payable for natural gas consumption based on the difference between current and previous meter readings, multiplied by the applicable rate plus any fixed charges.

2. How Does the Calculator Work?

The calculator uses the SUI Gas Bill formula:

Where:

• \( Units \) — Current meter reading in cubic meters (m³)
• \( Previous \) — Previous meter reading in cubic meters (m³)
• \( Rate \) — Current gas rate per cubic meter (PKR/m³)
• \( Fixed \) — Any fixed charges (PKR)

Explanation: The formula calculates consumption by subtracting the previous reading from current, multiplies by the rate, then adds fixed charges.

3. Understanding Gas Billing

Details: Gas bills typically consist of consumption charges (based on usage) plus fixed monthly charges. Rates may vary based on consumption slabs.

4. Using the Calculator

Tips: Enter current and previous meter readings in m³, the applicable rate per m³, and any fixed charges. All values must be non-negative numbers.

5. Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: Where can I find my gas rate?
A: Gas rates are published by SUI gas companies and may vary by region and consumption slab. Check your latest bill or company website.

Q2: How often are gas bills calculated?
A: Typically monthly, based on meter readings taken by company representatives or self-reported.

Q3: What if my current reading is less than previous?
A: This shouldn't normally happen. Check for meter reading errors or meter replacement situations.

Q4: Are there different rates for different usage levels?
A: Yes, many gas companies use slab systems where rates increase with higher consumption levels.

Q5: What are typical fixed charges?
A: Fixed charges cover meter rent and service fees, typically ranging from PKR 100-500 depending on connection type.
