How to calculate the electricity bills when renting an office

Currently, all office buildings charge rent based on area, service fee, overtime fee, and electricity and water fee (for traditional offices). As for the all-inclusive office, tenants have to pay an additional fee to use the meeting room and the number of monthly prints. Pay these fees for smooth operation, but the most important thing is still electricity.

To accurately calculate the electricity bill that each company uses in the building, the management board will attach an electric meter to each office, each of which can only be used separately for the entire office area of that company. and is calculated starting when the company comes to work. How much electricity the company uses will be charged no matter what.

Formula to calculate monthly electricity bill

The formula for monthly electricity bill: consumed electricity x unit price of electricity on the contract. Normally, the electricity price will be based on the business electricity price of the state, specifically:

Voltage – Normal hours – Off-peak hours – Peak hours
- Voltage from 22kV or more – 2,442 VND/kWh – 1,361 VND/kWh – 4,251 VND/kWh
- Voltage from 6kV to less than 22kV – 2,629 VND/kWh – 1,547 VND/kWh – 4,400 VND/kWh
- Voltage below 6kV – 2,666 VND/kWh – 1,622 VND/kWh – 4,587 VND/kWh

Besides several office buildings that apply the State’s business electricity price, there are also buildings with separate electricity prices, ranging from 3,500 VND/kWh to 4,500 VND/kWh.

Electricity price does not depend on the building class, not always the electricity price of Grade A buildings is also higher than that of Grade B, Grade C buildings, which are cheap.

For example:

– Electricity price at office buildings in District 1, Grade A office in Diamond Plaza is 3,058 VND/kWh, Grade B office in Saigon Trade Center Tower is 3,300 VND/kWh, in the Grade C segment, Yoco Building has electricity price. is 3,500 VND/kWh.
