How Many Units Does ₦5,000 Electricity Buy? Estimating Fairly

Units per naira depend on tariff band, VAT, and meter type. Use your last token receipt as a baseline — divide units by amount — instead of guessing from Twitter threads.

Track your burn rate

Note units used per week; multiply by tariff to budget monthly top-ups.

Band changes

If your estate moved bands, old estimates won’t hold — buy a small test token first.

Budget with wallet

Fund ₦20k, buy ₦5k tokens four times with four receipts — easier accounting.
