Pick the calculator for your DISCO (LESCO, K-Electric, IESCO, MEPCO, GEPCO or FESCO for the most detailed slab math with TOU, slab-crossing warning and non-filer WHT logic). Enter units consumed from your meter, pick Protected or Non-protected consumer type based on your 6-month rolling average, set filer status, and match FPA and QTR values from your last bill. The tool gives you the total payable within about Rs 100 of the actual bill in most cases.

Protected consumers have a 6-month rolling average of 200 units or less. They pay uniform lower slab rates (Rs 3.95 for lifeline 1-50, Rs 7.74 for 51-100, Rs 10.06 for 101-200) with no monthly fixed charge. Non-protected consumers cross the 200-unit average and pay progressive slabs from Rs 16.48 per unit up to Rs 42.72 above 700 units, plus monthly fixed charges tiered from Rs 75 to Rs 550. Reversion to protected status requires 6 consecutive months under 200 units.

TOU splits your rate into a peak hour rate (roughly Rs 39-42 per unit during 5 PM to 11 PM or 6 PM to 10 PM) and an off-peak rate (roughly Rs 22-24 per unit for the rest of the day). Requires a dual-meter installation through your DISCO SDO. TOU is only worth it if you can genuinely shift heavy loads (AC, geyser, washing machine, tubewells) out of the peak window; otherwise it is more expensive than standard non-protected tariff.

NEPRA notified the Prosumer Regulations 2026 (SRO 251(I)/2026) on 9 February 2026, replacing 1:1 net metering with net billing for new solar customers. Exports are now credited at Rs 11 per unit (NAEPP wholesale rate) while imports are billed at full retail slab rates. Existing prosumers with agreements valid before Feb 9, 2026 keep 1:1 net metering terms until their 7-year agreement expires. Our net metering calculator has a dual mode toggle that models both regimes side by side.

On a Rs 25,000 to Rs 30,000 monthly bill non-protected household, a 5 kW on-grid solar system saves approximately Rs 20,000 to Rs 25,000 per month after net billing arithmetic. Payback under the new net billing regime is 5 to 7 years (up from 3 to 4 years under the old net metering rules). Use our Solar Payback Calculator with your actual bill and system size for a personalized number, and the Solar Loan Calculator (All Banks) to compare EMI across HBL, Meezan, Bank Alfalah, UBL, MCB, Allied, BOP and NBP.

Yes. All DISCO calculators use the NEPRA S.R.O. 46(I)/2026 residential tariff notification effective January 2026 and the mid-2026 revision under S.R.O. 279(I)/2026. Net billing calculations use SRO 251(I)/2026 rules effective Feb 9, 2026. FPA and QTR are user-adjustable to match the current month's notification (NEPRA notifies FPA monthly and QTR quarterly). We update the base slabs whenever NEPRA issues a new notification.

Non-filers of income tax returns pay 7.5 percent Section 235 withholding tax on any electricity bill exceeding Rs 25,000 per month. Filers on the FBR Active Taxpayer List (ATL) are exempt. On a Rs 30,000 bill, Section 235 adds Rs 2,250 for non-filers. Filing your annual FBR return is the cheapest way to reduce your bill; every DISCO calculator here includes a filer/non-filer toggle to show the exact WHT delta.
