Electricity Bill Calculator Pakistan: What It Does
The Bijli Bill Calculator is a free online electricity bill calculator Pakistan tool that estimates your monthly electricity bill before the bill arrives. It uses the residential slab rates notified by NEPRA [https://nepra.org.pk] through SRO 279(I)/2026, and it adds the extra charges that make a bill so much bigger than “units multiplied by the rate”. There is no sign-up, and nothing you type is sent to a server.
What the electricity bill calculator Pakistan shows you
- Your total bill in rupees, plus the average cost per unit.
- The amount after the due date, so you know what a late payment will cost.
- A line-by-line breakdown of energy charges, fixed charges, FC surcharge, quarterly adjustment, electricity duty, GST and fuel adjustment.
- A chart showing how much of your bill is energy and how much is taxes and surcharges.
- A slab alert that warns you when one extra unit would push you into a higher slab, and tells you how much you would save by using a few units less.
- An appliance estimator that works out your monthly units from your fans, air conditioner, fridge and other appliances.
- Share and copy buttons so you can send the result to your family on WhatsApp.
Why use an electricity bill calculator Pakistan?
Pakistani electricity bills are hard to predict. The rate depends on your slab, your consumer type and your sanctioned load, and taxes and adjustments change every month. A good electricity bill calculator Pakistan tool lets you check your bill before it arrives, spot a wrong charge, and plan how many units you can afford. It also shows you the exact point where your bill jumps, so you can change your habits before it happens.
Electricity tariff slabs in Pakistan for 2026
The domestic tariff used by the electricity bill calculator Pakistan has three consumer types. Your type decides your rate and your fixed charge. The rates below come from SRO 279(I)/2026, which has been in force since February 2026. For a longer explanation, read our guide to electricity tariff slabs in Pakistan [/electricity-tariff-slabs-pakistan/].
Lifeline, 1 to 50 units: Rs 3.95 per unit, no fixed charge.
Lifeline, 51 to 100 units: Rs 7.74 per unit, no fixed charge.
Protected, 1 to 100 units: Rs 10.54 per unit, Rs 200 per kW fixed charge.
Protected, 101 to 200 units: Rs 13.01 per unit, Rs 300 per kW fixed charge.
Unprotected, 1 to 100 units: Rs 22.44 per unit, Rs 275 per kW fixed charge.
Unprotected, 101 to 200 units: Rs 28.91 per unit, Rs 300 per kW fixed charge.
Unprotected, 201 to 300 units: Rs 33.10 per unit, Rs 350 per kW fixed charge.
Unprotected, 301 to 400 units: Rs 36.46 per unit, Rs 400 per kW fixed charge.
Unprotected, 401 to 500 units: Rs 38.95 per unit, Rs 500 per kW fixed charge.
Unprotected, 501 to 600 units: Rs 40.22 per unit, Rs 675 per kW fixed charge.
Unprotected, 601 to 700 units: Rs 41.85 per unit, Rs 675 per kW fixed charge.
Unprotected, above 700 units: Rs 47.20 per unit, Rs 675 per kW fixed charge.
Protected, unprotected and lifeline: what is the difference?
Lifeline consumers use 100 units or less and get the lowest rates, with no fixed charge. Protected consumers have not used more than 200 units in any of the last six months and pay a much lower rate than unprotected users. Unprotected consumers pay the full rate for their slab. Your bill states your category. Our guide on protected and unprotected electricity consumers [/protected-unprotected-electricity-consumers/] explains how to keep protected status.
Why one extra unit can raise your bill so much
Unprotected bills use landing-slab billing. This means every unit is charged at the rate of the slab you reach, not just the extra units. At 200 units you pay Rs 28.91 on all of them. At 201 units all of them move to Rs 33.10, and the fixed charge also goes up. With the default settings and a 2 kW load, going from 200 to 201 units adds about Rs 1,165 to the bill. The electricity bill calculator Pakistan slab alert shows you this before it happens.

What is on your electricity bill?
- Energy charges: units multiplied by the rate of your slab.
- Fixed charges: a monthly charge per kilowatt of sanctioned load. Lifeline consumers do not pay it.
- FC surcharge: a per-unit charge to repay power-sector financing costs.
- QTA (quarterly tariff adjustment): a per-unit amount that can be a charge or a credit and changes every quarter.
- FPA (fuel price adjustment): a per-unit amount that changes every month.
- Electricity duty: a provincial duty of 1.5%.
- GST: 18% sales tax added on top.
Tips to lower your electricity bill
- Stay below the slab edge. Check your units mid-month with the electricity bill calculator Pakistan and cut use before you cross 100, 200, 300 or 400 units.
- Keep protected status. Staying at 200 units or less each month keeps your rate far lower than the unprotected rate.
- Use the air conditioner carefully. It is usually the biggest single cause of a high bill. Set it to 26 degrees and use a timer.
- Switch to LED lights and efficient fans. They use a fraction of the power of old bulbs and fans.
- Run heavy appliances less often. Water motors, irons and washing machines add up quickly.
- Consider solar. If your bill is in a high slab every month, solar can pay for itself. Read our solar payback guide for Pakistan [/solar-payback-pakistan/] before you decide.

Frequently asked questions
How is an electricity bill calculated in Pakistan?
The bill adds energy charges (units multiplied by the slab rate), fixed charges per kilowatt of load, the FC surcharge, quarterly and fuel adjustments, electricity duty of 1.5% and GST of 18%.
Is the tariff the same for LESCO, FESCO, IESCO and K-Electric?
Yes. Since February 2026, government distribution companies such as LESCO [https://www.lesco.gov.pk] and K-Electric [https://www.ke.com.pk] charge the same uniform domestic tariff, so the electricity bill calculator Pakistan works for all of them.
Why is my bill higher than the electricity bill calculator Pakistan shows?
The most common reasons are monthly fuel and quarterly adjustments, arrears from earlier bills, meter rent, a different sanctioned load, or a different consumer category. Open the “Extra bill items” panel and copy the rates from your bill for a closer result.
What is the difference between protected and unprotected consumers?
Protected consumers have not used more than 200 units in any of the last six months and pay lower rates. Unprotected consumers pay the full slab rate.
What is sanctioned load?
It is the maximum load, in kilowatts, approved for your connection. It is printed as “Load” on your bill. The fixed charge is calculated on it.

No. It covers residential connections under 5 kW. Connections of 5 kW and above use time-of-use rates, and commercial and industrial tariffs are different.
Are the results exact?
