How much is a 300 unit electricity bill in Pakistan?

About Rs 13,072 for an un-protected domestic consumer at the February 2026 national schedule: 300 units at the 33.10 slab, plus the Rs 3.23 per unit FC surcharge, 1.5 percent duty, 18 percent GST and the Rs 35 TV fee, assuming zero FPA that month and excluding the per-kW fixed charge. The same 300 units on a protected account is not possible to state, because protected status itself ends at 200 units.

How much is a 400 unit electricity bill in Pakistan?

About Rs 19,027 for an un-protected domestic consumer at the FY 2025-26 national tariff, taxes included and before any FPA adjustment on your bill. There is no filer or non-filer difference at this level, because income-tax withholding only starts once the bill crosses Rs 25,000. Watch the next slab though: going from 400 to 500 units adds roughly Rs 6,240, since the higher slab reprices every unit you used, and at 500 units a non-filer also starts paying withholding tax.

How much is a 500 unit electricity bill?

About Rs 25,266 for a filer and roughly Rs 27,161 for a non-filer, because above Rs 25,000 a month the bill attracts 7.5 percent withholding tax for non-filers under Section 235. At this consumption the whole month bills at the 38.95 per unit slab.

Why did my bill jump so much when I used only a few more units?

Because un-protected domestic consumers get no slab benefit: the slab your monthly total lands in reprices every unit of the month. Crossing 300 to 301 units moves all 301 units from the 33.10 slab to the 36.46 slab, and the bill jumps from about Rs 13,072 to Rs 14,326. The same cliff sits at 200, 400, 500, 600 and 700 units. Staying one unit under a boundary is the cheapest saving in Pakistani billing.

What is the difference between protected and un-protected consumers?

Protected means the account has stayed at or under 200 units for six consecutive months. Protected accounts pay far lower rates, 10.54 and 13.01 per unit, keep the slab benefit and pay a reduced FC surcharge, which is why 200 units costs them Rs 3,193 against Rs 7,722 un-protected. A single month above 200 units breaks the streak and the account bills as un-protected.

Are these bills the same on LESCO, K-Electric and other companies?

The tariff is identical, because domestic rates come from one uniform national schedule; LESCO, IESCO, MEPCO, GEPCO, FESCO, PESCO, HESCO, QESCO and K-Electric all apply the same slabs. What genuinely differs between companies and months is the FPA or QTA line and the provincial duty, which is why your printed bill will sit a little above or below the table here.

Why is my actual bill higher than the table?

Three usual reasons. The monthly FPA or QTA adjustment, which the table deliberately excludes because it changes every month. The fixed capacity charge of Rs 275 to Rs 675 per kW of sanctioned load, which depends on your connection rather than your units. And for non-filers on bills above Rs 25,000, the 7.5 percent withholding tax. Enter your own FPA and load in the electricity bill calculator for the exact figure.

300 Unit Electricity Bill in Pakistan 2026: 50 to 800 Units Priced

A 300 unit electricity bill in Pakistan comes to about Rs 13,072 this billing cycle for an ordinary un-protected domestic connection. Use one unit more, 301, and the same bill becomes Rs 14,326. That is not a typo, and this page explains it, along with the bill for every consumption level from 50 to 800 units.

Every figure is computed with the same engine that runs our electricity bill calculator, on the notified national domestic tariff schedule of February 2026, which applies identically at LESCO, IESCO, MEPCO, GEPCO, FESCO, PESCO, HESCO, QESCO and K-Electric, because domestic rates are set by a single uniform national schedule.

The bill at every consumption level

Units used	Un-protected consumer	Protected consumer
50 units	Rs 1,569	Rs 751
100 units	Rs 3,104	Rs 1,466
150 units	Rs 5,801	Rs 2,330
200 units	Rs 7,722	Rs 3,193
250 units	Rs 10,899	n/a*
300 units	Rs 13,072	n/a*
301 units	Rs 14,326	n/a*
350 units	Rs 16,653	n/a*
400 units	Rs 19,027	n/a*
500 units	Rs 25,266	n/a*
600 units	Rs 31,225	n/a*
700 units	Rs 37,790	n/a*
800 units	Rs 48,309	n/a*

*Protected status only exists up to 200 units. Cross 200 in any month and the account is billed as un-protected, which is why the protected column ends there.

What the numbers include: energy charge at the slab rate, the Rs 3.23 per unit FC surcharge, 1.5 percent electricity duty, 18 percent GST and the Rs 35 PTV licence fee. They assume a filer, and a month where FPA and QTA are zero.

What they exclude, and why your bill will differ a little: the monthly FPA or QTA line, which changes every month and can move the total in either direction by several hundred rupees, and the fixed capacity charge, which is billed per kW of your sanctioned load, Rs 275 to Rs 675 per kW depending on your slab, so a typical 2 kW house adds roughly Rs 550 to Rs 1,350 on top.

Why 301 units costs Rs 1,254 more than 300

This is the single most expensive misunderstanding in Pakistani electricity billing. For un-protected consumers there is no slab benefit: the slab your total lands in prices every unit of the month, not just the ones above the boundary.

At 300 units you are in the 33.10 per unit slab, so all 300 units bill at Rs 33.10. At 301 units the whole month repricies to the 36.46 slab, all 301 units, and the total jumps from Rs 13,072 to Rs 14,326. One unit, Rs 1,254.

The same cliff exists at every boundary: 200, 300, 400, 500, 600 and 700 units. If your meter is heading toward a boundary in the last days of a billing cycle, the cheapest electricity you will ever save is the few units that keep you under it.

The notification is explicit that only protected consumers get the benefit of the previous slab, and lifeline consumers get none. This is not a DISCO policy; it is the national tariff design.

500 units: where filer status starts to bite

From roughly 500 units up, a second cost appears for non-filers. Domestic bills above Rs 25,000 a month attract 7.5 percent withholding income tax for non-filers under Section 235, and zero for filers. At 500 units that is Rs 25,266 for a filer against about Rs 27,161 for a non-filer, nearly Rs 1,900 a month for not being on the ATL. Filers can claim nothing back because nothing was deducted.

The protected column: why those bills are so much lower

A protected consumer, someone who has stayed at or under 200 units for six consecutive months, pays 10.54 per unit on the first hundred and 13.01 on the second hundred, keeps the slab benefit, and pays the reduced Rs 1.43 FC surcharge. That is why 200 units costs a protected household Rs 3,193 against Rs 7,722 un-protected, a 2.4x difference for identical consumption.

One heavy month breaks the streak and the account reprices as un-protected. If you are near the 200 line in summer, that AC hour is more expensive than it looks.

Cutting the bill rather than predicting it

At 300+ units a month, the arithmetic that matters is usually solar: a household at 500 units pays about Rs 3 lakh a year at these rates, which is most of the cost of a 5 kW system. Run your own numbers in the solar payback calculator and the solar system size calculator.

For the bill itself: check your exact figure with FPA and your own sanctioned load in the electricity bill calculator, and if your bill seems high for the units, the AC running cost guide is usually where the units went.

Where these figures come from

Rates are the notified uniform national domestic schedule, S.R.O. 279(I)/2026, February 2026, as published in the DISCO tariff guides, applied by the same computation engine as our calculators. FPA and QTA change monthly by NEPRA determination, which is why they are shown as excluded rather than guessed.
