Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between Protected and Non-Protected consumers?▼
If you consume less than 200 units per month consistently for 6 consecutive months, you are classified as 'Protected' and receive a significantly subsidized rate (approx. Rs. 10.54 to 13.01 per unit). If you exceed 200 units in a single month, your status changes to 'Non-Protected' for the next 6 months, where rates start at Rs. 23.59 and go up to Rs. 43.95 per unit.
Do electricity tariff slabs in Pakistan work progressively?▼
No, they do not work like progressive income tax brackets where only the excess is charged at the higher rate. If you move into a higher slab (e.g., from 300 to 301 units), your entire consumption is charged at the higher slab rate. This is why crossing slab limits (100, 200, 300, 400, etc.) results in a very sharp increase in your total bill.
What is Fuel Price Adjustment (FPA) and how often does it change?▼
FPA is the cost difference between the actual fuel costs incurred by power plants and the reference fuel cost set by NEPRA. It varies month-to-month and is added to your bill retroactively. It can range from Rs. 2.0 to Rs. 7.0+ per unit depending on global oil, LNG, and coal prices.
Can I use this calculator for commercial or industrial meters?▼
No, this calculator is designed specifically for domestic (residential) connections. Commercial and industrial tariffs include distinct fixed charges based on Sanctioned Load (kW) and different progressive slab rates with no protected consumer categories.
