Your consumer category
The units (kWh) shown on your bill.
Printed on your bill. This estimator covers loads below 5 kW.
Add amounts from your bill (optional)
These change from month to month, so the estimator does not assume them. Copy them from your latest bill if you want them included. Use a minus sign for reductions.
For example GST, electricity duty, TV fee or meter rent, added together.
How to use Electricity Bill Estimator
- 1Choose the consumer category shown on your bill: unprotected, protected or lifeline.
- 2Enter the units used and your sanctioned load in kW (lifeline: choose single or three phase).
- 3Optionally add the fuel and quarterly adjustments per unit, and taxes, copied from your bill.
- 4Read the estimate and the breakdown of each charge.
Good to know
The same residential schedule applies to customers of all ex-WAPDA distribution companies (such as LESCO, IESCO, FESCO, GEPCO, MEPCO, PESCO, HESCO, SEPCO, QESCO, TESCO and HAZECO) and to K-Electric customers.
How the units are charged
- Unprotected: all units are charged at the rate of the slab your total falls in. For example, 250 units are all charged at the 201–300 rate.
- Protected: get the benefit of one previous slab, so 150 units are charged as 100 at the first rate and 50 at the second.
- Lifeline: no slab benefit and no fixed charges, but a minimum monthly charge of Rs 75 (single phase) or Rs 150 (three phase).
- Fixed charges: a rate per kW of sanctioned load that depends on your slab, for protected and unprotected homes.
Not calculated
- Fuel charges and quarterly adjustments, which change regularly. Add them from your bill if you want them included.
- GST, electricity duty, income tax, TV fee, meter rent, arrears and instalments. These have not been verified here, so the calculator does not assume them; you can add their total yourself.
- Time-of-use meters, sanctioned loads of 5 kW or more, prepaid meters and non-residential connections
- Whether you qualify as protected or lifeline: use the category shown on your bill
This is an estimate. Your distribution company’s bill is the only authoritative amount.

Quarterly adjustments are separate per-unit amounts that change over time (this one: −Rs 1.9857/kWh for June–August 2026, not for lifeline or prepaid consumers), which is why the estimator asks for them from the bill.
