The one-line version
All calculations on BijliCalculator run in your browser, on your device. There is no account system, no login and no newsletter. Entering your units, your state or your meter readings sends nothing to our server — the estimate is computed entirely on your own device.
What we store on your device
Two small things are saved in your browser's local storage so the site behaves the way you set it:
- Your theme preference (light, dark or auto) — so the site does not flash the wrong theme on your next visit.
- Your language preference (where the language switcher is available) — so the interface stays in your chosen language.
Both live only in local storage on your device. They are not transmitted anywhere, and clearing your browser's site data removes them.
What we do not collect
- No account — there is nothing to register, so there is no password, no email, no phone number.
- No calculator inputs leave your device — we do not record what you entered.
- No payment data — the site is free, and nothing asks for a card.
Advertising
BijliCalculator displays advertising to keep the calculators free. Ads are served by Google AdSense. Google and its partners may use cookies or device identifiers to serve ads based on your prior visits to this or other websites.
- You can opt out of personalised advertising in Google's Ads Settings, or via aboutads.info.
- Third-party vendors and ad networks may also serve ads on this site; their use of ad-cookies follows their own privacy policies.
- Calculator inputs are never shared with advertisers — what you type into a calculator stays on your device.
When your data could touch a server
In exactly three situations, and each is optional:
- Messages you send us. If you use the contact form or email us, your name, email and message are delivered to our mailbox. Form submissions are processed on our behalf by Web3Forms, which forwards the message to us. We use it only to reply; we do not add you to any list.
- External links. The tariff directory and blog link to regulator websites, DISCOM portals and official documents. Once you leave bijlicalculator.in, those sites' own privacy policies apply.
- Web fonts. The site's font may load from a font provider's CDN, which by its nature sees a request from your browser. No personal data is attached to it.
Analytics
We use Google Analytics 4 to understand how the site is used in aggregate — which pages get visited, how long people stay, and which country they come from. Google Analytics uses cookies for this purpose.
- We do not feed your calculator inputs into analytics — those never leave your device.
- You can block analytics cookies via your browser settings or Google's official opt-out add-on.
Third parties
We do not sell, rent or share personal information with anyone. Beyond the advertising partners described above and the hosting/CDN provider that delivers the site's static files, we have no partners that receive data from the site — and because the calculators run client-side, there is no calculator data pipeline to share in the first place.
Children
The site is a utility calculator for adults managing household finances. It does not target children and collects nothing from anyone regardless of age.
Changes to this policy
If we ever add a feature that changes what is collected — for example, a saved-bill history stored on our servers — this page will be updated with a clear explanation before the feature launches, and the date at the top of the page will change.
