Electricity Bill Calculator Pakistan

Your bill is based on slab rates set by NEPRA. Each consumption slab has a different rate. For Non-Protected consumers, all units are charged at the rate of the slab you fall into. For Protected consumers, you get the benefit of lower rates on initial slabs (progressive billing). Fixed charges, taxes (GST, income tax), and surcharges (FPA, electricity duty, NJ surcharge) are added on top.

For Non-Protected residential consumers (2026): 1-100 units at Rs. 22.44/kWh, 101-200 at Rs. 24.44, 201-300 at Rs. 27.18, 301-400 at Rs. 32.03, 401-500 at Rs. 35.24, and above 500 at Rs. 35.24. Protected consumers pay significantly less.

Protected consumers are lower-income households qualifying for government subsidies. They pay lower per-unit rates (Rs. 10.54 for first 100 units vs Rs. 22.44 for Non-Protected). Most urban households are Non-Protected unless they've applied for Protected status.

FPA (Fuel Price Adjustment) is a monthly charge that adjusts for changes in fuel costs for power generation. QTA (Quarterly Tariff Adjustment) is a quarterly correction. Both can be positive (surcharge) or negative (refund) and appear as separate line items on your bill.

Key strategies: use inverter ACs and LED bulbs, stay within lower consumption slabs (even 50 fewer units can drop you to a cheaper slab), run heavy appliances during off-peak hours if on TOU tariff, and consider solar panels for long-term savings.
