1. What is Maynilad Water Bill Calculation?

The Maynilad Water Bill calculation follows a tiered rate structure where customers pay different rates based on their water consumption. The bill includes a basic charge, consumption charge, environmental charge, sewer charge (if applicable), and VAT.

2. How Does the Calculator Work?

The calculator uses the Maynilad water bill formula:

Where:

• Basic Charge — Fixed monthly charge
• Consumption — Water usage in cubic meters
• Tiered Rates — Different rates based on consumption levels
• Environmental Charge — 10% of (Basic + Consumption Charge)
• Sewer Charge — 30% of (Basic + Consumption Charge) if connected to sewer
• VAT — 12% of the subtotal

3. Understanding Tiered Rates

Current Tier Structure (2023 Example):

• First 10 cu.m: PHP 36.24 per cu.m
• Next 10 cu.m (11-20): PHP 46.26 per cu.m
• Next 10 cu.m (21-30): PHP 65.32 per cu.m
• Next 10 cu.m (31-40): PHP 163.29 per cu.m
• Over 40 cu.m: PHP 228.61 per cu.m

4. Using the Calculator
