Home arithmetic is simply the arithmetic that is used for the services used in our daily life.
We carry different economic activities within our home too such as payment of electricity bill, water bill, telephone bill, etc. Currently, we can find such bills using the information and communication technology (ICT). For example, bill of public switched telephone network can be found by dialing1601.
Nepal Electricity Authority (NEA) charges the bill of electricity that public uses at their home. Bills are charged accordance to a capacity of meter used and a number of units consumes monthly. The NEA meters used in our home are from 220 volts to 400 volts.
Electricity charge as per the rule of electricity
authority:
Capacity of meter | Unit consumed | Amount |
5 Ampere | upto 20 | Rs 80 |
6 to 15 Ampere | upto 50 | Rs 365 |
16 to 30 Ampere | upto 100 | Rs 795 |
31 to 60 Ampere | upto 200 | Rs 1765 |
Energy cost as of 2071/72
Rs. 80 at the rate of Rs. 4 per unit up to 50 units
Rs. 7.30 per unit from 50 to 150 units
Rs. 9.50 per unit 150 to 250 units
Rs. 11.00 above 251
Some of the important information to the electricity consumer:
Water consumption is measured in terms of units. The unit of water consumed is measured by Flow meter. Nepal Water supply corporation (NWSC) sends the water bill every month. In Kathmandu Upatekya Khanepani Limited (KUKL) sends the water bill every month to its consumer.According to Nepal Water Supply Corporation, Tariff provided to all branch are as follow:
According to Nepal Water Supply Corporation, Tariff provided to all branch are as follow:
Pipe size (inch) | Minimum consumption (litre) | Minimum cost (Rs.) with meter | For more consumption cost per unit (Rs.) with meter | Main tap charge (Rs) without meter | Branch tap charge (Rs) without tap |
1/2" | 10 units | 110 | 25 | 560 | 200 |
3/4" | 27 units | 1490 | 40 | 3360 | 1600 |
1" | 56 units | 3420 | 40 | 9200 | 2700 |
1.5" | 155 units | 9600 | 40 | 20700 | 6500 |
2" | 320 units | 21600 | 40 | 42300 | 12000 |
3" | 881 units | 49500 | 40 | 131400 | 33000 |
4" | 1810 units | 97200 | 40 | 250200 | 62000 |
1 units mean 1000 litre of water consumption.
50% of water cost is charged a sewerage service charge.
The cost of telephone depends upon the number of calls that we make. Telephone company records the number of calls within their database system. Nepal Telecom Company (NTC) records the telephone bill and we should pay it monthly.
Telephone charge rate as per the rule of Nepal Telecom(NTC).
Rs.200 for a minimum of 175 calls Rs.1 per call above the minimum call.
Call charge = minimum call charge (C) + additional no. of calls (n) * addtional call rate (r)
i.e. call charge = C+n*r
Telecome service charge (TSC) = 10% of call charge
Value added tax (VAT) = (C + TSC)* 13%
Total amount = Call charge (C) + TSC + VAT
According to the certain rule imposed by government authority, the taxi fare is charged. The meters of taxi are provided and regulated by Department of Transport Management together with Nepal Bureau of Standard and Metrology (NBSM).

In a house, the electricity meter reading on Chaitra 30 was 1050 units and on Baisakh 30, it was found to be 1250 units.What is the charge to be paid if the rates of charge are as follows?
Minimum charge up to 20 units =Rs.80,
Per units charges (up to 21-250 units) =Rs.7.30
Here, Consumed units of Baisakh=(1250-1050)=200 units
Consumed units of Baisakh=(1250-1050)=200 units
Minimum charge up to 20 units= Rs.80
Additional units =(200-20)=180 units
Charged of additional units =180× Rs.7.30 = Rs 1314
∴Total charge = Rs. 80 + Rs 1314
= Rs.1394 Ans
In a house with 15A electricity transmission line the meter reading on the last day of Ashadh was 2500 units and that of Shrawan eas 2700 units, what is the amount to be paid as per the following rate?[Minimum charge (up to 50 units) Rs.299, above it per unit Rs..30]
Here,
Consumption of electricity in Shrawan =2700-2500=200
Minimumcharge for first 50 units =Rs.299
Now, remaining units =200-50=150
Charges of remaining units =150×Rs.7.30 = RS 1095
∴Total charge =Rs. 299 + Rs 1095
= Rs. 1394. Ans.
A house owner pays to the electricity authority Rs.160 up to 40 units; Rs. 5 per units for the additional units and receives RS.6 per units (using sub-meter)from the person living in rent. He uses 40 units only out of the total 225 units each month.In this condition
By the rule of electricity authority, charges for up to 40 units is Rs.160 and charge for per additional unit is Rs 5.Here 225 units of electricity was consumed.
or, 224 units =40 units + 185 units
Here, charge for first 40 units = Rs.160 and charge for 185 units
185× 5=Rs 925.
Hence, the house owner should pay to electricity authority
Rs(160+925)=Rs.1085 Ans
∴ He receives for 185 units at the rate of Rs.6 per unit from the person living in rent.
∴ Total charge received from the person living in rent = Rs 6 × 185
= Rs.1110 Ans.
Again, he pays for additional 185 units at the rate of Rs.5 per unit to the electricity authority.
∴ Charge for 185 units = 185× Rs.5=Rs. 925
Total charge to be paid =Rs.160 + Rs 925=Rs.1085
Charge for 185 units received from the person living in rent=Rs.1110
∴Profit made by the house owner =Rs.1110-Rs.1085
= Rs.25 Ans.
According to above (i) total amount of bill to be paid by the house owner to the electricity authority is Rs.1085
To consume 60 units free of cost bt house owner, he has to receive Rs. 1085 from 165 units.
Here, S.P of 165 = Rs.1085
∴S.P of 1 unit =\(\frac{Rs. 1085}{165}\)
= Rs.6.58.Ans.
The units charged for the electricity is Rs. 7.30 per unit, find the charge to be paid for using a bulb of 60 watts using it for 7 hours 30 minutes. Likewise, what is the total bill for a month of heater of 2000 watts using it for 2 hours 15 minutes daily?
Here,60 watt=\(\frac{60}{1000}\) kw=0.06 kw
7hrs.30 min = 7 hrs + \(\frac{30}{60}\)hrs
=7 \(\frac{1}{2}\)
=\(\frac{15}{2}\)hrs.
Hence, total consumed units in 7 hrs.30 mins =0.06 ×\(\frac{15}{2}\)= 0.45 units.
Now, charge for 0.45 units at the rate of Rs.7.30 per unit =0.45× 7.30=Rs 3.285
∴Total charge to be paid for using a bulb of 60 w of 7 hours 30 minutes =Rs 3.285 Ans.
Again,2000w=\(\frac{2000}{1000}\)=2 kw
2 hours 15 minutes =2 hrs +\(\frac{15}{60}\)hrs.=2 hrs + 0.25 hrs =2.25 hrs.
Total consumed units from 2000 of heater = 2.25× 2 =4.5 units.
Now, Daily charges for 4.5 units at the rate of Rs.7.30
=Rs.(4.5× 7.30)
= Rs.32.85
Now, Daily charge for 1 month = 32.85× 30=985.5.Ans.
In a house of 30 A electricity transmission line, the electricity meter reading in Baisakh 1 is 1050 units and in Jestha 1 is 1250 units.If the rate of payment is Rs.664 up to 100 units and above it Rs.7.35 per unit, how much is to be paid for the electricity charge for the months of Baisakh?
Here, Consumption of electricity in Baisakh = 1250-1050=200 units
Charge for first 100 units =Rs.664
Remaining units=200-100=100
Charge for remaining units=100 × Rs. 7.35 =Rs.735
Total charge = Rs.664 + Rs.735 =Rs.1399
Now, remaining amount =Rs.1058 - Rs Rs.644=Rs.394
Here,for Rs. 7.35 = 1 unit can be consumed
for Rs.1 = \(\frac{1}{7.35}\) unit can be consumed.
for Rs.394=\(\frac{1}{7.35}\)×394 unit can be consumed.
=53.6 units can be consumed.
∴Total units that can be consumed for Rs.1058
= 100 + 53.6 = 153.6 Units Ans.
The initial reading in the meter taxi in Kathmandu is Rs.7 and Rs. 9 is added to each additional km.How long did a passenger travel if he paid Rs.115 as the taxi fare?
Here, Initial charge for meter taxi = Rs.7
Total fare = Rs.115
Taxi fare for distance travelled=Rs.115 -Rs.7 =Rs. 108
Again,per km fare= Rs.9
Hence, total distance travelled =\(\frac{Rs.108}{Rs.9}\)=12 km
Hence, a passenger can travel 12 km for Rs.115.Ans.
