🇬🇭 ECG Bill Estimator
Estimate your monthly electricity cost using Ghana's official PURC residential tariff — by entering your units, or from your appliances.
Monthly units used
Your prepaid meter or ECG bill shows units in kWh.
≈ GHS 2.01 per unit, all-in
Based on the PURC Q2 2026 (effective 1 April 2026) residential tariff (energy + service charge). Your actual bill also includes small statutory levies (street-lighting, national-electrification and applicable VAT/NHIL), so the real figure is a little higher. PURC reviews tariffs each quarter — confirm current rates with ECG.
About This Tool
Ever stood at the meter wondering how much credit to buy? This estimates your monthly ECG bill using Ghana's official PURC residential tariff — the real rates, not a guess. Either type in the units (kWh) from your meter, or, if you have no idea, build an estimate from the appliances in your home. It works for both prepaid top-ups and postpaid budgeting.
How to Use
- 1Pick a mode: enter your units (kWh) directly, or estimate from your appliances
- 2For units mode, type the kWh shown on your prepaid meter or ECG bill
- 3For appliance mode, enter how many of each appliance you have and roughly how many hours a day each runs
- 4Read your estimated monthly cost, broken into the energy charge and the service charge
Why Use This?
Electricity is one of the hardest bills to predict, and ECG's tariff is tiered — the more you use, the higher the rate on the extra units. Seeing the estimate helps you decide how much credit to load, spot which appliance is quietly draining your wallet (looking at you, water heater), and avoid running out of power at the worst possible moment.
