How Your Gas Bill is Calculated

We calculate your gas bill based on the number of units you’ve used, along with some standard charges. Here’s a simple breakdown:

Calculation Steps

1. Units Used
   We find the number of units used by subtracting your previous meter reading from your current meter reading.

2. Base Amount
   Each unit of gas costs AED 9.50. So, your base amount is calculated by multiplying the units used by 9.50.

3. Service Charge
   A fixed service charge of AED 10 is added to every bill.

4. Convenience Fee
   A 3% fee is applied to the base amount, plus an additional AED 1.

5. VAT (Value Added Tax)
   VAT is charged at 5% on the total of the base amount and the service charge.

6. Total Amount
   Finally, we add up the base amount, service charge, convenience fee, and VAT to give you your total bill amount.

Example

Let’s say:

• Your previous reading is 1200

• Your current reading is 1300

Here’s how your bill will be calculated:

• Units Used = 100 units

• Base Amount = 100 × AED 9.50 = AED 950

• Service Charge = AED 10

• Convenience Fee = 3% of 950 (AED 28.50) + AED 1 = AED 29.50

• VAT = 5% of (950 + 10) = AED 48

• Total Bill = 950 + 10 + 29.50 + 48 = AED 1,037.50
