Your bill header tells you which one bills you.

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 stay at or under 200 units every month for 6 consecutive months. On the February 2026 schedule they pay Rs 10.54 per unit for 1-100 and Rs 13.01 for 101-200, and they are the only category entitled to the benefit of one previous slab, so those two slabs really are applied progressively. Lifeline consumers (up to 100 units, sanctioned load under 5 kW) pay Rs 3.95 up to 50 units and Rs 7.74 from 51 to 100, with no fixed charge. Non-protected consumers pay Rs 22.44 rising to Rs 47.20 above 700 units, and crucially get no slab benefit at all, so the rate of the slab their monthly total lands in applies to every unit. Fixed charges are billed per kW of sanctioned load, from Rs 275 to Rs 675. Reversion to protected status requires 6 consecutive months under 200 units.

TOU splits your rate into a peak hour rate and an off-peak rate. On the February 2026 schedule the notified figures are Rs 46.85 peak (5 PM to 11 PM or 6 PM to 10 PM depending on the DISCO) and Rs 34.53 off-peak, a gap of about Rs 12 per unit. It requires a dual-meter installation through your DISCO SDO, and it carries the Rs 675 per kW fixed charge. TOU is only worth it if you can genuinely shift heavy loads (AC, geyser, washing machine, tubewells) out of the peak window.

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 on the February 2026 tariff works out at roughly 3 to 5 years for an on-grid system, against about 2 to 3 years under the old 1:1 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 S.R.O. 279(I)/2026, the applicable variable charges effective February 2026, as published by the DISCOs themselves. Domestic rates are uniform nationwide, so every DISCO calculator shares the same rate table by design. 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.
