Electricity bill calculator for LESCO, IESCO, MEPCO, GEPCO, FESCO, PESCO and K-Electric. Enter units and sanctioned load to see your bill at the tariff in force since February 2026 (SRO 279): per-unit slab rate, the fixed charge per kW, GST, FC surcharge and duties.

Version 1.0.0. Inputs: Units consumed (kWh), Consumer category, Sanctioned load, Fuel price adjustment, Include PTV licence fee.

## Worked example (default inputs)

- Units consumed (kWh): 350 kWh
- Consumer category: unprotected
- Sanctioned load: 2 kW
- Fuel price adjustment: 0 PKR/unit
- Include PTV licence fee: true

**Estimated monthly bill: Rs 17,468**

350 units at the unprotected tariff cost Rs 12,761 in energy charges; taxes and surcharges add Rs 4,707 (37%). That is Rs 50 per unit all-in.

### Energy charge

- All 350 units @ 301–400 slab × Rs 36.46: Rs 12,761
- Energy charge: Rs 12,761

### Surcharges & taxes

- Fuel price adjustment (350 × Rs 0.00): Rs 0
- FC surcharge (350 × Rs 3.23): Rs 1,131
- Fixed charge (2 kW × Rs 400): Rs 800
- Electricity duty (1.5%): Rs 208
- GST (17%): Rs 2,533
- PTV licence fee: Rs 35
- Total bill: Rs 17,468

## How it is calculated

Your bill = **energy charge** (units × slab rate) + **fixed charge** (Rs 275 to 675 per kW of sanctioned load, by slab) + **fuel price adjustment** + **financing-cost surcharge** + **electricity duty** (provincial, 1.5% of the variable charge) + **GST** (17%) + fixed fees. Rates are the uniform tariff notified by SRO 279(I)/2026, in force since **12 February 2026**.

NEPRA sets a uniform residential tariff for all distribution companies (LESCO, IESCO, GEPCO, FESCO, MEPCO, PESCO, HESCO, SEPCO, QESCO, TESCO and K-Electric). **Protected** consumers, those who have used 200 units or less for six consecutive months, pay heavily subsidised slab rates. Everyone else is **unprotected**.

For unprotected consumers the entire consumption is billed at the rate of the slab reached (only protected consumers keep the previous-slab benefit), which is why crossing 100, 200 or 300 units produces a jump in the bill. Lifeline consumers (100 units or less) pay no fixed charge but a minimum charge of Rs 75 (single phase) or Rs 150 (three phase).

## Frequently asked questions

**Why did my bill jump when I used slightly more units?**

For unprotected consumers the whole consumption moves to the higher slab rate. Going from 300 to 301 units changes the rate applied to all 301 units.

**What is FPA?**

Fuel Price Adjustment passes on the difference between the fuel cost assumed in the tariff and the actual cost. It changes monthly and can be negative.

**How do I become a protected consumer?**

Keep consumption at or below 200 units for six consecutive months. Exceeding 200 in any month resets the count.

**Is income tax charged on electricity bills?**

Withholding tax applies on higher bills, and at a higher rate for non-filers. It is not included here.
