1. What is the Water Board Bill Calculation?

The Water Board Bill Calculation estimates the total water bill for Malaysian water consumers using tiered rates. It includes minimum charges, consumption-based costs, sewer charges, and applicable taxes.

2. How Does the Calculator Work?

The calculator uses the water bill formula:

\[ Bill = Minimum\ Charge + (Consumption\ in\ m³ \times Tiered\ Rate\ per\ m³) + Sewer\ Charge + Taxes \]

Where:

Minimum Charge — Fixed base charge regardless of consumption
Consumption — Water usage in cubic meters (m³)
Tiered Rate — Rate per cubic meter based on consumption tier
Sewer Charge — Fixed or variable charge for sewer services
Taxes — Percentage-based taxes applied to the subtotal

Explanation: The calculation accounts for both fixed and variable components of water billing, including applicable taxes specific to Malaysian water boards.
