What areas does FESCO cover?

FESCO (Faisalabad Electric Supply Company) covers Faisalabad, Sargodha, Jhang, Mianwali, Toba Tek Singh, Bhakkar, Chiniot and Khushab in central Punjab. It is one of Pakistan's largest DISCOs by revenue because it feeds Faisalabad's textile hub. If your bill header says FESCO, this calculator is for you.

What is the FESCO tariff for 350 units in 2026-27?

A non-protected FESCO consumer using 350 units per month pays roughly Rs 13,000 to Rs 14,500 in total on the 2026-27 tariff, depending on the current FPA and QTR values. Breakdown: base energy charge approximately Rs 8,900 (100 units at Rs 16.48 plus 100 at Rs 21.32 plus 100 at Rs 25.09 plus 50 at Rs 29.04), fixed charge Rs 350, FPA around Rs 1,225 at Rs 3.50 per unit, QTR around Rs 525 at Rs 1.50 per unit, FC surcharge Rs 150, NJ surcharge Rs 35, Electricity Duty Rs 134, GST at 18 percent around Rs 2,050, plus TV fee Rs 35. Use the calculator above with your actual FPA from your last bill for a pinpoint estimate.

What is the difference between protected and non-protected FESCO consumers?

Protected consumers have a six-month average consumption of 200 units or less and pay a uniform lower slab rate (Rs 7.74 per unit for 1 to 100 units, Rs 10.06 per unit for 101 to 200) with no fixed monthly charge. Non-protected consumers cross the 200-unit six-month average and pay progressive slab rates starting at Rs 16.48 per unit plus a monthly fixed charge tier from Rs 75 to Rs 550 depending on how high their monthly usage climbs. Reversion to protected status requires six consecutive months of 200 units or less.

Is FESCO TOU tariff worth it for a Faisalabad textile household?

Often yes. Peak rate is Rs 39.63 per unit versus off-peak Rs 22.29, a Rs 17.34 per unit gap. Faisalabad textile households and Sargodha citrus farmers routinely run power looms, water motors, cold storage and second AC units overnight anyway, so shifting them out of the 6 PM to 10 PM peak window is straightforward. Requires dual meter installation through your FESCO SDO and a formal opt-in application. Payback of the dual meter cost is usually inside 6 months for households consuming above 800 units per month.

How does the FESCO slab-crossing warning work?

FESCO slabs are progressive, which means a household using 201 units pays significantly more than one using 200 because the marginal rate jumps from Rs 21.32 to Rs 25.09 on that 1 extra unit, plus the fixed monthly charge tier bumps from Rs 75 to Rs 175. The calculator flags a red warning when your current month consumption is within 10 units of the next slab boundary so you can decide whether to cut non-essential loads (spare AC, geyser, dishwasher) for the last few days of the cycle. Even a 3 to 5 unit reduction can save Rs 500 to Rs 2,000 on the total bill.

What is the Section 235 withholding tax on FESCO bills?

Section 235 of the Income Tax Ordinance imposes a 7.5 percent withholding tax on electricity bills exceeding Rs 25,000 per month for non-filers of income tax returns. Filers on the FBR Active Taxpayer List (ATL) are exempt. On a Rs 30,000 non-filer bill that is Rs 2,250 extra per month. Filing your FBR return is the cheapest way to reduce your monthly FESCO bill if you are currently a non-filer with high consumption.

What are FPA and QTR on FESCO bills?

FPA (Fuel Price Adjustment) is a variable per-unit charge NEPRA notifies each month based on the actual cost of fuel used to generate electricity that month versus the reference cost. FPA can be positive (increase) or negative (rebate) and typically ranges Rs -3 to Rs +8 per unit. QTR (Quarterly Tariff Adjustment) is a similar variable charge set once per quarter to true up the actual cost of purchased electricity versus the reference. Both are line items on your FESCO bill, so read the exact values from your last bill and punch them into the calculator for a pinpoint estimate.

How do I lower my FESCO bill quickly?

Four fast levers: (1) File your FBR return to eliminate the 7.5 percent Section 235 WHT if you are non-filer with over Rs 25,000 bill. (2) Watch the slab-crossing warning in this calculator and cut usage in the last 3 to 5 days if you are close to the next slab boundary. (3) If your six-month average is close to 200 units, aggressively reduce for 2 to 3 months to drop back into protected status. (4) For textile or farming households, opt for TOU and shift heavy machinery overnight. Beyond these, solar with net billing (Rs 11 per unit export credit under NEPRA SRO 251(I)/2026) is the structural fix for consistently high bills in central Punjab, where daytime solar irradiance is strong year-round.

Free FESCO bill calculator for Faisalabad Electric Supply Company residential consumers, updated to the NEPRA S.R.O. 46(I)/2026 tariff notification effective January 2026 and the mid-2026 revision under S.R.O. 279(I)/2026. FESCO covers Faisalabad, Sargodha, Jhang, Mianwali, Toba Tek Singh, Bhakkar, Chiniot and Khushab, spanning central Punjab's textile and citrus zones. Handles the three consumer categories: protected (six-month average under 200 units, uniform lower slab rates Rs 3.95 lifeline, Rs 7.74 for 51-100 units, Rs 10.06 for 101-200 units, no fixed monthly charge), non-protected (six-month average over 200 units, progressive rate slabs starting at Rs 16.48 per unit and climbing to Rs 42.72 per unit above 700 units, plus fixed monthly charges from Rs 75 to Rs 550), and TOU (Time of Use, voluntary opt-in with dual meter, cheaper off-peak Rs 22.29 versus peak Rs 39.63 during 6 PM to 10 PM). Faisalabad textile households and Sargodha citrus farming households take up TOU because heavy machinery runs overnight anyway.

Save on your FESCO bill

Stay under 200 units. Six-month average below 200 unlocks protected status and Rs 8.74 per unit savings on the 51 to 100 slab plus no fixed charge.

Shift heavy loads off-peak. Rs 17.34 per unit gap between peak and off-peak TOU rates. Faisalabad textile and Sargodha citrus households save the most by running heavy machinery overnight.

File your FBR return. Non-filers pay 7.5% extra as Section 235 WHT on bills over Rs 25,000. On a Rs 30,000 bill that is Rs 2,250 saved per month by filing.

Rate source and accuracy

Base tariff slabs verified against NEPRA S.R.O. 46(I)/2026 residential notification effective January 2026, with the mid 2026 revision under S.R.O. 279(I)/2026. FESCO serves Faisalabad, Sargodha, Jhang, Mianwali, Toba Tek Singh, Bhakkar, Chiniot and Khushab on the uniform NEPRA A-1 domestic tariff. NEPRA notifies FPA every month and QTR every quarter.

Get pinpoint accuracy: read the exact FPA and QTR values from your current FESCO bill and enter them above. That gives a number within Rs 100 of the actual bill in almost all cases. Verify at the NEPRA FESCO tariff page. This is an estimate tool. Actual bills may vary due to arrears, adjustments, meter reading errors and cycle-specific NEPRA notifications.

Pick your consumer type: Protected if your six-month average consumption is 200 units or less, Non-protected if higher, or TOU if you have opted into the Time of Use dual-meter tariff via your FESCO SDO.
Enter the units consumed this month, read directly from the FESCO bill (labelled Units Consumed or kWh). For TOU, enter peak and off-peak units separately.
Set filer status. Non-filers pay a 7.5 percent Section 235 withholding tax on bills over Rs 25,000; filers do not. Filing your FBR return saves this amount every month.
Adjust FPA and QTR to match the exact per-unit values on your current bill. Defaults are conservative mid-cycle values but NEPRA updates FPA monthly and QTR quarterly.
Read the result. The primary card shows the total payable and effective per-unit rate. Slab-by-slab breakdown table shows exactly which rate applied to which portion of your consumption. Watch for the red slab-crossing warning if your usage is close to the next slab boundary.
Verify against your FESCO bill. Actual bills may vary due to arrears, adjustments, meter reading errors and cycle-specific NEPRA notifications. Confirm the exact number on your official bill or the NEPRA FESCO tariff page before disputing any charges.
