How to use the QESCO Bill Calculator 2026-27 (Quetta + Kalat Slab + TOU)
- 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 QESCO SDO.
- Enter the units consumed this month, read directly from the QESCO 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 QESCO 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 QESCO tariff page before disputing any charges.
