Overbilled

Free bill check

For City of Johannesburg accounts, using the City's 2026/27 tariffs. This check runs in your browser and saves nothing you type: close the page and what you typed is gone. The site counts that a check ran, not what you typed.

Your meter readings

Copy each reading from your bills, oldest first. The bill marks each one as actual (A) or estimated (E). Add at least 3, and as many as you can find: up to 13 gives a full year's average.

What this free check can't do. It only sees the numbers you type. The full check (R349) reads 3 to 12 months of your actual bills and checks each water, sanitation, refuse, cleaning levy, rates and water levy charge against the published tariffs, plus your meter readings and identical duplicate lines. It lists what it couldn't check, and gives you the amounts and rules to quote when you query your bill.

General information, not legal advice. The free check is a calculator that runs in your browser; no AI sees what you type.
