Electricity Bill Calculator — Pakistan
Your bijli bill, calculated the way the bill is actually built: every unit at the landing-band rate, this month's fuel and quarterly adjustments prefilled from the latest decisions, and every figure stamped with its source.
Rates verified 12 November 2026 · Base tariff S.R.O. 279(I)/2026 · FCA September 2026: +Rs 2.3673 · QTA Sep – Nov 2026: +Rs 0.5194
The worked example this page is checked against: 300 units, unprotected, 2 kW load — energy Rs 9,930.00, fixed charge Rs 700.00, FCA Rs 710.19, QTA Rs 155.82, GST Rs 2,069.28 → total Rs 13,565.29. Try it in the calculator with the contested lines (FC surcharge, duty, TV fee) switched off in the adjustments panel.
Calculate your electricity bill
One national tariff applies to every company — the company changes the local notes, never the math.
Or enter meter readings below and the units are worked out for you.
Not sure whether you are protected? Check with the protected consumer checker — the 6-month rule is the one most people get wrong.
K-Electric Time-of-Use: the notified peak rate (Rs 46.85) is agreed by every published reading, but the off-peak figure is disputed between two readings of the tariff annex (Rs 34.53 vs Rs 40.53), so we do not calculate a K-Electric ToU bill until we can verify that one figure. Karachi peak hours are on the K-Electric page.
Printed on your bill. The fixed charge is per kW of this load.
Peak hours are the evening window — your company page carries its published window where we could verify one.
The one rule most calculators get wrong
An unprotected home does not pay the first 100 units cheaply and the rest at higher rates. It pays every unit at the rate of the band the total lands in. At 200 units that is 200 × Rs 28.91 = Rs 5,782 of energy; at 201 units it is 201 × Rs 33.10 = Rs 6,653.10. One extra unit costs Rs 871.10 before the fixed charge and GST join in. Only protected consumers receive a slab benefit — the first 100 units at the lower protected rate — and lifeline consumers pay a single landing rate like everyone else. Any calculator that splits an unprotected bill into 100-unit blocks is using the wrong method, however fresh its rates look.
Your full check figures: at 200 units and a 1 kW load, the energy and fixed lines come to Rs 6,082 before adjustments and GST.
What rides on top of the energy charge
Fixed charge — per kW of sanctioned load, set by the band you land in (Rs 200–675). FCA (fuel charges adjustment) — decided monthly, billed two months later on that month's units; November 2026 bills carry September's +Rs 2.3673. QTA — the quarterly adjustment, +Rs 0.5194 for September – November 2026. GST at 18% on the charges above it. Advance tax — 7.5% for non-filers once the bill reaches Rs 25,000. Three smaller lines — the FC surcharge, electricity duty and the TV fee — are genuinely disputed between current bills and published tables; here they are editable toggles with the dispute printed, never silent additions. See the methodology page.
Questions
How is an electricity bill calculated in Pakistan?
In this order: the energy charge (every unit at the rate of the band your total lands in — protected consumers get one previous slab of benefit), plus the fixed charge per kW of sanctioned load, plus the fuel charges adjustment and the quarterly adjustment for the month, then GST at 18%. Non-filers pay 7.5% advance tax on bills of Rs 25,000 or more. Each line is shown separately in the calculator.
What is the bill for 200 units?
For an unprotected home at a 1 kW load, the energy charge alone is Rs 5,782 — 200 units × Rs 28.91, because every unit is charged at the landing band rate. A protected home pays Rs 2,355 of energy at the same usage. The full bill adds the fixed charge, the month’s adjustments and GST.
Why did my bill jump when I used one extra unit?
Because unprotected consumers get no slab benefit: at 201 units, all 201 units are charged at Rs 33.10 instead of Rs 28.91 — the energy charge rises by Rs 871.10 for a single extra unit, before the higher fixed charge and GST. Every band boundary works this way.
Which tariff is current?
S.R.O. 279(I)/2026, effective 12 February 2026 — one uniform national tariff for every distribution company and K-Electric. The top residential rate actually billed is Rs 47.20 per unit; the Rs 47.69 figure in some tables is the determined rate before modification, not the billed one.
Can this calculator show my actual bill?
No — and no calculator can. An issued bill lives on your company’s system; the official duplicate-bill portal is bill.pitc.com.pk. This calculator estimates from your units so you can check the bill when it arrives, line by line, with the bill checker.
