Formula
How the calculation works
The tool multiplies the monthly usage in cubic metres by the WASA rate per cubic metre to get the usage charge.
It then adds the fixed charge, which WASA bills regardless of how much water is used, to that usage charge.
Finally it applies the VAT percentage to the two charges combined and returns the total water bill.
Common mistakes
- Reading the meter in litres and multiplying by the rate, which is charged per cubic metre, not per litre.
- Forgetting the fixed charge, which appears even in a month when the household uses very little water.
When to use it
- Estimate the water bill for the month before the WASA notice arrives at your door.
- Check how much a small drop in daily use would lower the monthly charge and the VAT on it.
Worked example
Twenty cubic metres at 15.18 taka each give 303.60 in usage charges, and adding the 110 taka fixed charge and 5% VAT of 20.68 gives a total water bill of 434.28 taka.
