Bill at different units

How the Electricity Bill Is Calculated
- Cost of electricity = units × slab rate. A 300-unit unprotected bill: 300 × Rs 33.10 = Rs 9,930.
- Fixed charges = slab fixed rate × sanctioned load. 2 kW × Rs 350 = Rs 700.
- FC surcharge = units × Rs 3.23 = Rs 969.
- FPA and QTA = units × Rs 1.1086 and Rs 0.5194 = Rs 332.58 and Rs 155.82 (not charged to lifeline users).
- Electricity duty = 1.5% of cost of electricity, FPA and QTA = Rs 156.28.
- GST = 18% of all the above = Rs 2,204. Total = Rs 14,448.
- Income tax: non-filers pay 7.5% of the bill when it is Rs 25,000 or more (section 235). Filers pay nothing.
- After due date: 10% late payment surcharge on the electricity charges (Rs 15,657 for this example).
We tested 17 combinations (0 to 1,000 units, 1 to 10 kW, single phase, Time of Use with and without MDI, with and without electricity duty, filer and non-filer) against LESCO’s official Bill Estimator on 4 November 2026 with FPA set to 0. Every total and after-due-date amount matched to the rupee. LESCO’s estimator does not handle protected or lifeline bills; those follow the NEPRA schedule above.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I calculate my electricity bill in Pakistan?
Multiply your units by the slab rate (for unprotected homes every unit is billed at the rate of the slab you land in), add the fixed charge for your sanctioned load in kW, the FC surcharge (Rs 3.23 per unit), the fuel adjustment and quarterly adjustment, then 1.5% electricity duty and 18% GST. Non-filers also pay 7.5% income tax once the bill reaches Rs 25,000.
What is the per unit price of electricity in Pakistan in 2026?
The base rate for unprotected homes runs from Rs 22.44 (1-100 units) to Rs 47.20 (above 700 units) under the NEPRA tariff notified on 12 February 2026. After fixed charges, surcharges and taxes, a 300-unit bill works out to about Rs 48 per unit.
What is the bill for 300 units in Pakistan?
About Rs 14,448 for an unprotected home with a 2 kW load, including the current fuel adjustment (Rs 1.1086), quarterly adjustment (Rs 0.5194), duty and GST. At 301 units the whole bill jumps to the next slab rate.
Who is a protected electricity consumer?
A home with sanctioned load below 5 kW that used 200 units or less in each of the last 6 months. Protected homes pay Rs 10.54 for the first 100 units and Rs 13.01 for the next 100. Crossing 200 units even once removes this status for 6 months.
What are fixed charges on the electricity bill?
Since February 2026 every domestic consumer (except lifeline) pays a monthly fixed charge per kW of sanctioned load: Rs 200 to Rs 300 for protected homes and Rs 275 to Rs 675 for unprotected homes, depending on the units used. A 2 kW home using 300 units pays Rs 700.
Is the tariff different for LESCO, IESCO and MEPCO?
No. All government distribution companies (IESCO, LESCO, MEPCO, FESCO, GEPCO, PESCO, HESCO, SEPCO, QESCO and TESCO) use the same uniform NEPRA tariff, so the same units cost the same everywhere. Only electricity duty can differ by province.
Does a filer pay income tax on the electricity bill?
No. Domestic consumers on the FBR Active Taxpayers List do not pay income tax on the bill. Non-filers pay 7.5% advance income tax when the monthly bill is Rs 25,000 or more.
This electricity bill calculator gives an estimate for information only. Your DISCO bill may also include meter rent, arrears or a different adjustment, and NEPRA changes FPA every month.
