Kashf money-saving tools
Smart Bill Simulator: estimate water waste and whether an inspection pays off
Noticed an unexplained rise in your water bill? Enter your current high bill and your previous normal bill, plus your property type, to get an illustrative estimate of the water possibly being wasted per day and per month, and a rough comparison between the cost of one professional inspection and the cost of the waste continuing. The bill-to-m³ conversion uses the Saudi NWC tariff by default; outside Saudi Arabia, set your own price per m³ and currency in the tool. This tool doesn't read your actual meter or diagnose a leak — it is only an estimated starting point, and an electronic inspection is what confirms the facts.
Our commitment regarding the technical inspection report
(For Kashf inspections in Saudi Arabia.) We commit to issuing the inspection report to the technical standards the National Water Company (NWC) requires for a bill review. If the report is rejected by the competent authority for a technical reason caused by a shortcoming on our part in carrying out the inspection or in the report itself, we commit to one of the following:
- Re-inspecting and correcting the report completely free of charge.
- Or refunding the inspection fee you paid, depending on the case and after we review the reason for rejection.
Scope of the commitment: This commitment applies only if the request was rejected for a technical reason caused directly by a shortcoming of the Kashf team (such as an error in the report or non-compliance with the required technical standards). It does not cover rejection for administrative or regulatory reasons unrelated to the inspection itself, or for reasons related to the condition of the network or the decision of the competent authority, which we don't fully control. In other words: we don't guarantee the water company's decision, but we do stand behind the quality and technical compliance of our work.
How do we calculate the estimate?
We convert each bill amount (current and previous) into an estimated consumption in cubic meters using the Saudi NWC residential tariff tiers per m³ per month by default: 1–15: SAR 0.10, 16–30: 1.00, 31–45: 3.00, 46–60: 4.00, above 60: SAR 6.00, with sewerage at 50% of the water charge and 15% VAT (or, if you set a custom tariff, by dividing the amount by your price per m³). We then calculate the difference in cubic meters and convert it into liters per day and per month. To calculate directly in cubic meters from your bill, use the water bill calculator.
The calculation is an estimate: your bill may include other fees or a different reading period, commercial tariffs differ from residential ones, and your official bill is always the reference. That's why every number in the tool is clearly labeled "estimated, not final", and it should not be used as the only evidence for any official claim.
Why compare with the cost of an inspection?
Comparing the cost of a professional inspection with the cost of ongoing waste helps you make a practical decision: if the monthly difference on your bill is more than the cost of one inspection, it is usually worth booking one to confirm the cause and stop the waste early, rather than paying a high bill every month without knowing why.
