When reading your electric meter, simply write down the number the hand has passed.
Notice that some hands turn right and some turn left.
KILOWATT HOURS
If a hand is directly on a number, you may be uncertain whether to write down that number or the next lower number.

| If the hand on the right has passed 0, write down the number to which the hand on the left is pointing. In this case it is a 7. |
If the hand on the right has not passed 0, write down the next lower number. In this case it is a 6. |
Now look at this tougher reading
KILOWATT HOURS
To calculate your usage, subtract the ending reading from the beginning reading. If your meter has a constant of 10, multiply the kilowatt hours used by 10 simply by adding a zero. Enter the total kilowatt hours used into the Bill Calculator.
