Whether you are a Residential, Commercial, Industrial, or Agricultural consumer, this calculator provides a slab-by-slab breakdown including all taxes, duties, and adjustments.

No more guessing how much your bill will be. No more surprises when the LESCO or MEPCO bill arrives. Just enter your units, select your DISCO and month, and get an instant, accurate calculation.

How to Calculate Your Electricity Bill โ€“ Step by Step

Calculating your electricity bill in Pakistan is not as simple as multiplying units by a single rate. NEPRA has designed a slab-based system where the per-unit rate increases as you consume more electricity. Here is the step-by-step process:

Step 1: Read Your Meter or Find Units on Your Bill

First, note down the total units (kWh) consumed during the billing month. You can find this on your physical meter (subtract previous reading from current) or directly on your latest WAPDA or DISCO bill.

Step 2: Identify Your DISCO

Pakistan has 10 different power distribution companies. Each one follows the same NEPRA-approved tariff but serves different regions:

  • LESCO โ€“ Lahore, Sheikhupura, Nankana Sahib, Kasur
  • MEPCO โ€“ Multan, Bahawalpur, Dera Ghazi Khan, Sahiwal
  • FESCO โ€“ Faisalabad, Sargodha, Jhang, Toba Tek Singh
  • IESCO โ€“ Islamabad, Rawalpindi, Attock, Chakwal, Jhelum
  • GEPCO โ€“ Gujranwala, Sialkot, Gujrat, Hafizabad
  • HESCO โ€“ Hyderabad, interior Sindh
  • SEPCO โ€“ Sukkur, upper Sindh
  • QESCO โ€“ Quetta, Balochistan
  • PESCO โ€“ Peshawar, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa
  • TESCO โ€“ Former FATA / tribal regions

Step 3: Apply NEPRA Slab Rates

Once you know your units and your DISCO, apply the NEPRA-approved slab rates. These rates increase with consumption to encourage conservation.

Step 4: Add All Taxes and Adjustments

This is where most people get confused. Your final bill includes:

  • Energy charges (based on slabs)
  • Fixed charges
  • Fuel Adjustment Charges (FCA) โ€“ varies monthly
  • Electricity Duty โ€“ 1.5% for residential
  • TV Fee โ€“ Rs. 35 per month
  • GST โ€“ 18% on energy + fixed charges
  • Income Tax โ€“ 7.5% if bill exceeds Rs. 50,000 per month
  • Meter Rent โ€“ Rs. 10 to 45 depending on meter type

NEPRA Slab Rates 2024-25 โ€“ Complete Table for Residential Consumers

NEPRA (National Electric Power Regulatory Authority) revises tariff slabs periodically. The following rates are effective for 2024-25 and remain valid for 2026 billing unless NEPRA announces a new revision.

SlabUnits (kWh)Rate (PKR/kWh)Fixed Charge (Rs.)
Protected1 โ€“ 100Rs. 3.95Rs. 75
Slab 11 โ€“ 100Rs. 13.57Rs. 75
Slab 2101 โ€“ 200Rs. 16.51Rs. 100
Slab 3201 โ€“ 300Rs. 21.06Rs. 150
Slab 4301 โ€“ 400Rs. 23.08Rs. 150
Slab 5401 โ€“ 500Rs. 25.16Rs. 200
Slab 6501 โ€“ 600Rs. 26.79Rs. 200
Slab 7601 โ€“ 700Rs. 28.01Rs. 200
Slab 8701+Rs. 29.15Rs. 200

Note: Protected consumers are those using less than 100 units per month and are billed at a subsidized rate. All other consumers follow the regular slab structure.

Summer vs Winter Tariff โ€“ What Changes?

NEPRA applies a seasonal tariff:

  • Summer (May to October) โ€“ Slightly higher rates due to increased generation costs
  • Winter (November to April) โ€“ Lower rates

Our calculator automatically detects the season based on your selected month, so you don’t have to worry about manual adjustments.

What is Fuel Adjustment Charge (FCA)?

The Fuel Adjustment Charge (FCA) is one of the most confusing parts of a Pakistani electricity bill. Every month, NEPRA calculates the difference between:

  • The reference fuel price assumed when setting the tariff
  • The actual fuel price paid by power plants (furnace oil, RLNG, coal, hydel)

This difference is passed on to consumers as a positive or negative FCA. When fuel prices rise internationally, your FCA goes up. When they fall, you may get a negative FCA (refund).

Example: If NEPRA notifies FCA of Rs. 1.25 per unit, and you consumed 300 units, you will pay an extra Rs. 375 on your bill.

Pro tip: Always check the monthly FCA notification from NEPRA before calculating your bill. Our calculator lets you input the current FCA value.

How GST is Calculated on Electricity Bill

GST (General Sales Tax) on electricity in Pakistan is fixed at 18% under federal law. However, it is not applied to the entire bill amount. Here is the formula:

GST = (Energy Charges + Fixed Charges) ร— 18%

Notably, items like FCA, TV fee, meter rent, and late payment surcharge are exempt from GST. This is why our calculator separates these charges before applying the 18% tax.

Example: If your energy charges are Rs. 5,000 and fixed charges are Rs. 200, then GST = 5,200 ร— 0.18 = Rs. 936.

LESCO Bill Calculator โ€“ For Lahore Users

LESCO (Lahore Electric Supply Company) serves Lahore, Sheikhupura, Nankana Sahib, and Kasur. If you live in these areas, you can use our calculator by simply selecting LESCO from the utility dropdown.

LESCO users typically see higher bills during summer due to heavy AC usage. Here is a quick estimate for Lahore consumers:

Units UsedApprox Bill (Summer)Approx Bill (Winter)
200 unitsRs. 4,500 โ€“ 5,000Rs. 4,000 โ€“ 4,500
400 unitsRs. 11,000 โ€“ 12,500Rs. 10,000 โ€“ 11,000
600 unitsRs. 19,000 โ€“ 21,000Rs. 17,000 โ€“ 19,000
800 unitsRs. 28,000 โ€“ 31,000Rs. 25,000 โ€“ 28,000

These estimates include FCA of Rs. 1.25 per unit and all taxes. Your actual bill may vary based on the monthly FCA notification.

MEPCO Bill Calculator โ€“ Multan & South Punjab

MEPCO (Multan Electric Power Company) covers Multan, Bahawalpur, Dera Ghazi Khan, Sahiwal, and surrounding areas. MEPCO has one of the largest consumer bases in Pakistan.

MEPCO users often ask: “Mera MEPCO bill kitna aayega?” Our calculator gives you the exact answer. Just enter your units, select MEPCO, and see the slab breakdown instantly.

Popular MEPCO consumer queries answered:

  • What is the per-unit rate for 300 units on MEPCO? โ€“ Approximately Rs. 21.06 per unit for the 201-300 slab, plus taxes.
  • Does MEPCO charge FCA? โ€“ Yes, same FCA applies to all DISCOs.

IESCO Bill Calculator โ€“ Islamabad & Rawalpindi

IESCO (Islamabad Electric Supply Company) serves the federal capital Islamabad, Rawalpindi, Attock, Chakwal, and Jhelum. IESCO has the most reliable power infrastructure in Pakistan.

Because Islamabad has a higher proportion of commercial and government consumers, IESCO’s average billing is slightly higher than rural DISCOs. However, the slab rates remain identical to NEPRA’s notification.

Tips for IESCO consumers to reduce bills:

  • Use energy-efficient appliances (inverter ACs, LED lights)
  • Shift heavy loads (geysers, irons) to off-peak hours
  • Consider solar panels โ€“ IESCO has a net metering policy that credits you for exported electricity

How to Reduce Your Electricity Bill โ€“ Practical Tips

Pakistan’s electricity rates have increased significantly in recent years. Here are proven ways to lower your monthly bill without sacrificing comfort:

Stay in Lower Slabs

The biggest bill shock comes when you move from one slab to the next. For example, moving from 299 units to 301 units can increase your bill by Rs. 2,000+ because the rate jumps from Rs. 21 to Rs. 23 per unit for the entire consumption.

Strategy: Monitor your monthly consumption. If you are close to 300 units, try to reduce usage by 10-15 units in the last week of the billing cycle.

Use Inverter Appliances

Inverter technology saves 30-50% electricity compared to conventional appliances. This is especially true for:

  • Air conditioners โ€“ Inverter ACs use 40% less power
  • Refrigerators โ€“ Inverter fridges run more efficiently
  • Washing machines โ€“ Direct-drive inverters use less water and power

Solar Panel Savings โ€“ Is It Worth Installing?

Pakistan has some of the highest solar irradiation in the world. A 3 kW solar system costs around Rs. 600,000 to 800,000 and can save you Rs. 10,000-15,000 per month.

Use our solar savings estimator built into the calculator to see your exact payback period. For most Pakistani households, solar pays for itself in 3-5 years.

Simple Behavioral Changes

  • Turn off lights, fans, and appliances when not in use
  • Set AC to 26ยฐC (not 18ยฐC) โ€“ every degree saves 6-8% electricity
  • Use ceiling fans instead of ACs during mild evenings
  • Wash clothes in cold water
  • Unplug phone chargers and standby devices โ€“ they consume 5-10% of your bill

Which Appliances Use Most Electricity?

Here is a breakdown of average power consumption for common Pakistani appliances:

ApplianceWattageHours/dayMonthly UnitsMonthly Cost (Rs.)
AC (1.5 ton)1,500W8 hours360 unitsRs. 6,500 โ€“ 8,000

How is electricity bill calculated in Pakistan?

Electricity bills in Pakistan are calculated using NEPRA’s slab-based tariff. You multiply your units consumed by the applicable slab rate, add fixed charges, then add FCA, electricity duty, TV fee, GST (18%), income tax (if applicable), and meter rent.

What is NEPRA tariff 2025?

NEPRA tariff 2025 refers to the latest slab rates approved by the National Electric Power Regulatory Authority. For 2024-25, the rates range from Rs. 3.95 (protected) to Rs. 29.15 per unit, plus fixed charges from Rs. 75 to Rs. 200 based on consumption.
