Price the marginal units when a leak crosses a water tier
A household already uses 9 m³ against a 10 m³ tier limit. A sample leak of 0.1 L/min for 14 days adds 2.016 m³, so part of the excess enters the next block.

| Volume or billing unit | m³ |
| Flow (L/min) | 0.1 |
| Days or equivalent sessions | 14 |
| Price per billing unit (USD) | 2 |
0.1 L/min × 1,440 min/day × 14 days = 2016 L. Divide by 1,000 for m³, then multiply by 2 for USD 4.03.

What the comparison shows
Only the first 1 m³ costs 2.00. The remaining 1.016 m³ costs 4.064, so the sample tiered increment is 6.06. The two calculator runs bracket that increment.
Assumptions and limits
The leak tool prices one flat rate. Use the Bill Calculator for the two full tiered bills, or calculate the split by hand.
