In short
Pakistan domestic electricity bills use progressive per-unit slab rates set by NEPRA — cheaper 'protected' rates for low-usage households and higher rates above roughly 200–300 units — plus 17% GST, electricity duty, a TV licence fee and monthly fuel price adjustments.
Who this is for: Households in Pakistan estimating a monthly bill from units consumed, before fuel adjustments.
Why this will not match your real bill exactly
Pakistani domestic electricity bills are made up of the base per-unit slab tariff (what this tool estimates) plus several items this tool does not model:
- Fuel Price Adjustment (FPA): a monthly surcharge or rebate reflecting the actual cost of generation fuel, which can swing meaningfully month to month.
- Quarterly Tariff Adjustment (QTA): a periodic true-up NEPRA applies on top of the base tariff.
- Fixed/meter rent charges some connection types carry, and any arrears or previous balance.
Together, the FPA and QTA alone can move a real bill by 20-40% relative to the base tariff used here. The protected-category threshold (which slab set you fall under) also varies slightly by DISCO and can depend on your usage pattern over several preceding months, not just the current month.
Assumptions
- Uses base-tariff slabs in the rules file (unverified); the Fuel Price Adjustment and Quarterly Tariff Adjustment are not included.
- Adds 17% GST, 1.5% electricity duty and a PKR 35 TV licence fee.
- The DISCO selection is for reference only and does not change the rates.
Worked example
Slab-by-slab: 100 units × PKR 16.87 + 100 units × PKR 19.72 + 100 units × PKR 24.54 + 50 units × PKR 30.79 ≈ PKR 7,653 energy charge
Electricity duty (1.5%): ≈ PKR 115
GST (17%): ≈ PKR 1,301
TV licence fee: PKR 35
Estimated total ≈ PKR 9,103 — before any Fuel Price Adjustment, which is not included.
Frequently asked questions
Why is my actual bill higher than this estimate?
Almost always the Fuel Price Adjustment and/or Quarterly Tariff Adjustment, neither of which is included here — these are announced separately and change often, sometimes monthly.
What's the difference between protected and non-protected?
DISCOs apply a lower 'protected' or 'lifeline' tariff to low-usage domestic connections, commonly those staying under 200-300 units for a sustained period — check your own bill's category label, since exact thresholds vary.
Does this apply to commercial or industrial connections?
No — this tool only models the domestic (residential) tariff category. Commercial and industrial tariffs use a different, generally higher rate structure.
Why did my bill jump when I used slightly more units?
Crossing a slab boundary (e.g. 200 units) can move the whole account into a higher category with higher rates on all units, not just the extra ones.
What is the Fuel Price Adjustment?
A monthly charge or credit per unit reflecting actual generation fuel costs, notified separately by NEPRA; it is not included in this estimate.
