Prepaid Gas Meter & Bill Calculator
Calculate prepaid gas meter card units, recharge allocation breakdown, and remaining gas days for Titas, Karnaphuli, and other distributors in Bangladesh using standard BERC slab rates.
Step By Step
How to Use This Calculator
5 steps
- Select your gas distributor (e.g. Titas Gas, Karnaphuli Gas) and the calculation mode (By Recharge BDT or By Consumption).
- If calculating by recharge, enter your recharge amount (e.g. ৳1,000) and specify if this is the first recharge of the calendar month.
- Select your burner type (double-burner, single-burner, or custom daily consumption) to estimate remaining days.
- If calculating by consumption, enter your meter usage in cubic meters (m³) to see the bill breakdown.
- Review the results: gas volume loaded, fixed meter rent deduction (৳200), estimated days remaining, and comparison vs flat-rate bills.
Worked Example
Example: Recharge of ৳1,000 on Titas Gas prepaid meter (first recharge of the month, double-burner)
Use this sample to sanity-check your inputs and understand what the final result represents.
- 1Deduct fixed monthly meter rent: ৳1,000 - ৳200 = ৳800.00 net for gas.
- 2Calculate gas volume loaded at ৳26.20/m³ tariff rate: ৳800 / 26.20 = 30.53 cubic meters.
- 3Estimate days remaining using standard double-burner usage (1.5 m³/day): 30.53 / 1.5 ≈ 20.3 days.
- 4Compare with flat-rate double burner cost: prepaid cost is ৳1,000 for 20 days (equivalent to ৳1,500/month), which is ৳420 more than flat-rate (৳1,080/month) due to heavy usage.
Final Result
30.53 m³ Loaded → Lasts ~20 days
Methodology
Prepaid Gas Meter Allocation Formula
This section explains the calculation logic, assumptions, and source material used to make the result more trustworthy and easier to verify.
Gas Volume Loaded (m³) = (Recharge BDT − Monthly Fixed Charges) ÷ Tariff Rate. Standard Tariff Rate = ৳26.20/m³. Monthly Fixed Charge = ৳200 (meter rent). Remaining Days = Gas Volume Loaded (m³) ÷ Daily Burner Consumption (m³/day).
Helpful tips
- 1A fixed monthly meter rent of ৳200 is automatically deducted from your first recharge of each calendar month.
- 2BERC sets the prepaid residential gas tariff at ৳26.20 per cubic meter (m³).
- 3A standard double-burner stove consumes about 1.5 m³ of gas per day (~45 m³ per month).
- 4If your prepaid gas runs out, press and hold the red button 'B' for 5 seconds to activate your meter's emergency balance.
