What is DEWA Bill Calculator?
DEWA (Dubai Electricity & Water Authority) bills consist of four main components: electricity consumption charged on a tiered slab system, water consumption also on a slab system, a variable fuel surcharge, and the Dubai Municipality housing fee (5% of annual rent divided into 12 monthly installments).
The residential electricity slab rates are: 23 fils/kWh for the first 2,000 kWh, 28 fils/kWh for 2,001-4,000 kWh, 32 fils/kWh for 4,001-6,000 kWh, and 38 fils/kWh above 6,000 kWh. The fuel surcharge fluctuates monthly (typically around 6.5 fils/kWh). This calculator provides estimates — your actual bill will depend on exact meter readings and the month's fuel surcharge rate.
