1. What is the Maynilad Bill Calculator?

The Maynilad Bill Calculator estimates your water bill based on the fixed charge, your water usage, and the current Maynilad water rate. It provides an accurate assessment of your expected water expenses.

2. How Does the Calculator Work?

The calculator uses the Maynilad bill formula:

Where:

• \( Fixed \) — Fixed charge amount (₱)
• \( Usage \) — Water consumption in cubic meters (m³)
• \( Maynilad\_Rate \) — Current Maynilad rate per cubic meter (₱/m³)

Explanation: The equation calculates your total water bill by adding the fixed charge to the product of your water usage and the current rate.

3. Importance of Bill Calculation

Details: Accurate bill estimation helps in budgeting your monthly expenses, identifying unusual consumption patterns, and managing your water usage efficiently.
