Start with the things people already know.
A household knows which appliances it owns and roughly how long they run. The calculator turns those familiar inputs into an understandable cost estimate, with rural users and language access in mind.
The same calculation, in your language.
Room-by-room appliance entry, quantities, wattage, daily usage, and a configurable rate make the estimate inspectable. English, Hindi, and Marathi translations cover the interface and equipment labels.
Daily and monthly summaries, a downloadable bill estimate, and optional AI-generated saving tips sit after the core calculation.
Keep the estimate separate from the advice.
The household calculation runs from structured appliance and usage inputs. The language context supplies shared translations, while PDF export gives users a portable summary.
The optional AI route produces suggestions; it does not replace the arithmetic. The estimate uses the entered rate and usage assumptions rather than claiming to reproduce a provider’s exact tariff schedule.
A useful tool—and a district-level win.
The project won a district-level competition. The working calculator is publicly available, with language access and familiar household inputs at the centre of the experience.
