Five ways to save
Savings are estimates. They assume AC is 60% of your electricity, 8% AC saving for 2°C warmer, 5% for clean filters, water heating 5% and lighting 5% of use, and 20% water saved by aerators. Saved units are priced at your top slab.

CO2 uses Qatar's grid average of 0.58169 kg CO2e per kWh (Ember 2024, via Our World in Data). Not covered: Qatari citizen subsidies, meter or connection fees and deposits. We could not verify these from an official source. The 20% sewage charge comes from a Qatar Living guide (2026), not km.qa.
Questions
How is my Kahramaa bill calculated?
Kahramaa charges electricity and water in slabs. For a villa or flat, the first 2,000 kWh in a month cost QAR 0.11 each, the next 2,000 cost QAR 0.13, use from 4,001 to 15,000 kWh costs QAR 0.18, and anything above 15,000 kWh costs QAR 0.26. Water is QAR 5.5 per m³ for the first 20 m³, QAR 7 up to 250 m³ and QAR 10 above that.
What is the Kahramaa tariff for commercial customers?
Commercial electricity is QAR 0.13 per kWh up to 4,000 kWh a month, QAR 0.17 up to 10,000 kWh and QAR 0.22 above. Commercial water is QAR 6 per m³ up to 50 m³ and QAR 8.6 above.
Do Qatari citizens pay the same tariff?
Kahramaa's public tariff calculator shows one rate table per category and does not split Qatari and non-Qatari customers. Qatari households have had subsidies on their home. We could not confirm the current Qatari rules from an official source, so this tool does not model them.
Why is my summer bill so high?
Air conditioning. In summer it can be most of a home's electricity, and higher use pushes you into dearer slabs. Every kWh above 4,000 in a month costs QAR 0.18 instead of QAR 0.11.
What is Tarsheed?
Tarsheed is Kahramaa's national programme for saving electricity and water. It runs awareness campaigns and rules for efficient appliances, lighting and water fittings.
Is there a sewage charge?
Reports say non-Qatari homes connected to the sewer pay a wastewater charge of 20% of the water bill. We could not confirm this on km.qa, so it is an optional tick box.
