The electricity you get if you buy a token is IDR 50 thousand

• (IDR 50,000 – 2.4 percent) : IDR 1,352 = kWh obtained
• (Rp. 50,000 – Rp. 1,200): Rp. 1,352 = kWh obtained
• IDR 48,800 : IDR 1,352 = kWh obtained
• IDR 48,800 : IDR 1,352 = 36.09 kWh (rounded).

The electricity you get if you buy a token is IDR 100 thousand

• (Rp. 100,000 – 2.4 percent): Rp. 1,352 = kWh obtained
• (Rp. 100,000 – Rp. 2,400): Rp. 1,352 = kWh obtained
