📊 MEPCO Bill Calculator
Domestic Tariff A-1a | Updated March 2026
How to Use the MEPCO Bill Calculator
Using the calculator above takes under 30 seconds. Here is exactly what to enter:
- Find your units consumed: Look at your electricity meter right now. Note the current reading. Subtract the previous reading shown on your last MEPCO bill. The difference is your units consumed this month.
- Select your consumer type: Domestic/Residential for houses and flats. Commercial for shops and offices. Agricultural for tube-well connections.
- Select Protected or Unprotected: If your monthly consumption is consistently under 200 units, select Protected. Above 200 units — or if you have been above 200 for six consecutive months — select Unprotected.
- Enter the FPA rate: The current month’s FPA (Fuel Price Adjustment) rate is printed on your latest MEPCO bill. It changes every month. In peak summer months (June–August) it runs Rs. 3.00–5.00 per unit. In winter it may be as low as Rs. 0.50 per unit.
- Click Calculate: Your estimated bill appears instantly with a full breakdown of each charge.
Your actual bill may differ slightly from the calculator estimate due to quarterly tariff adjustments (QTA), specific arrears on your account, or if your connection is on a Time-of-Use (TOU/TOD) meter. The calculator gives the closest possible estimate based on the latest official MEPCO slab rates.
MEPCO Protected Consumer — Estimated Bill by Units (2026)
If your consumption is consistently under 200 units per month, you are a protected consumer paying the subsidised domestic tariff. These are approximate bill estimates at current 2026 rates — actual bills include the monthly FPA which varies:
| Units Consumed | Energy Charges (approx.) | Taxes + Fixed Charges | Total Estimate (excl. FPA) | With FPA at Rs. 3.50/unit |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 50 units | Rs. 387 | Rs. 320 | Rs. 707 | Rs. 882 |
| 100 units | Rs. 774 | Rs. 380 | Rs. 1,154 | Rs. 1,504 |
| 150 units | Rs. 1,507 | Rs. 480 | Rs. 1,987 | Rs. 2,512 |
| 175 units | Rs. 1,798 | Rs. 520 | Rs. 2,318 | Rs. 2,930 |
| 199 units | Rs. 2,038 | Rs. 560 | Rs. 2,598 | Rs. 3,295 |
Note: 200 units is the protected consumer threshold. Going to 201 units triggers unprotected billing on ALL units — not just the extra one. The table below shows why this crossing matters so much.
MEPCO Unprotected Consumer — Estimated Bill by Units (2026)
If your consumption exceeds 200 units — or has exceeded 200 units for six consecutive months — you are an unprotected consumer. The rate structure is entirely different and significantly more expensive:
| Units Consumed | Energy Charges (approx.) | Taxes + Fixed Charges | Total Estimate (excl. FPA) | With FPA at Rs. 3.50/unit |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 201 units | Rs. 4,320 | Rs. 980 | Rs. 5,300 | Rs. 6,004 |
| 250 units | Rs. 5,400 | Rs. 1,100 | Rs. 6,500 | Rs. 7,375 |
| 300 units | Rs. 6,500 | Rs. 1,250 | Rs. 7,750 | Rs. 8,800 |
| 350 units | Rs. 7,500 | Rs. 1,420 | Rs. 8,920 | Rs. 10,145 |
| 400 units | Rs. 8,600 | Rs. 1,600 | Rs. 10,200 | Rs. 11,600 |
| 500 units | Rs. 10,600 | Rs. 1,950 | Rs. 12,550 | Rs. 14,300 |
| 600 units | Rs. 13,000 | Rs. 2,300 | Rs. 15,300 | Rs. 17,400 |
| 700 units | Rs. 15,600 | Rs. 2,700 | Rs. 18,300 | Rs. 20,750 |
The 200-unit cliff: A protected consumer at 199 units pays approximately Rs. 3,295 in July (with FPA at Rs. 3.50). An unprotected consumer at 201 units pays approximately Rs. 6,004. The 2-unit difference triggers a Rs. 2,700 bill increase — not because those 2 units are expensive, but because crossing the threshold recalculates all 201 units at the higher unprotected slab rates.

For municipal street lighting and public area lighting. Unit price: Rs. 28.94/unit. Minimum bill: Rs. 500 per kW of sanctioned load.
Why Your Bill Is Higher Than the Calculator Shows — The FPA Factor
The most common reason your actual bill exceeds the calculator estimate is the Fuel Price Adjustment (FPA). FPA is a monthly variable charge set by NEPRA that reflects the actual cost of generating electricity that month. It changes every month and is not included in the base tariff rates above.
| Season | Typical FPA Range | On a 300-unit bill |
|---|---|---|
| January–March (low season) | Rs. 0.50–1.50/unit | Adds Rs. 150–450 |
| April–May (rising) | Rs. 1.50–3.00/unit | Adds Rs. 450–900 |
| June–August (peak) | Rs. 3.00–5.00/unit | Adds Rs. 900–1,500 |
| September–October (monsoon drop) | Rs. 1.00–2.50/unit | Adds Rs. 300–750 |
| November–December (moderate) | Rs. 0.50–1.50/unit | Adds Rs. 150–450 |
For the most accurate bill estimate, enter the current month’s FPA rate in the calculator above. Find your FPA rate on your latest MEPCO bill — it is listed as a separate line in the charges breakdown.
Benefits of Using the MEPCO Bill Calculator
- Know your bill before it arrives: Bills generate around the 20th of each month. Using this calculator from the 10th gives you 10 days to prepare payment before the due date.
- Identify the 200-unit threshold risk: If your estimated consumption is 185–215 units, you are near the protected consumer cliff. The calculator shows you exactly what crossing 200 units costs — so you can take action before the billing cycle closes.
- Compare appliance scenarios: Run the calculator for your current units, then subtract what a more efficient AC would save and see the bill impact. This is how you calculate whether an inverter AC pays for itself.
- Plan seasonal budgets: South Punjab summer bills can be 4–5 times winter bills. Using the calculator in April with your expected summer usage figures helps you plan cash flow before the peak months hit.
- 100% free, no registration: No account needed, no personal data entered, no cost. The calculation uses official NEPRA-approved MEPCO tariff rates.
MEPCO Bill Calculator — Frequently Asked Questions
Look at your electricity meter now and note the current reading. Subtract the previous reading shown on your last MEPCO bill. The difference is your units consumed this month. If you do not have a previous bill, you can also check your 12-month consumption history on this site using your 14-digit reference number.
It gives a very close estimate based on the official MEPCO slab tariff rates for 2026. Your actual bill may differ slightly due to: the monthly FPA rate (enter it manually in the calculator for best accuracy), quarterly tariff adjustments (QTA), arrears on your account, and whether your connection is on a standard or TOU meter. The calculator reflects the base tariff structure — not all variable components.
Protected consumers use 200 units or fewer per month and pay heavily subsidised rates. Unprotected consumers (201+ units) have their entire consumption recalculated at higher slab rates — not just the units above 200. Crossing from 199 to 201 units can add Rs. 2,500–4,000 to your July bill without changing any behaviour. The calculator shows both scenarios so you can see the exact cost of that crossing.
FPA stands for Fuel Price Adjustment. It is a monthly variable charge set by NEPRA based on the actual cost of generating electricity that month. It is applied per unit consumed. In peak summer months it runs Rs. 3–5/unit; in winter as low as Rs. 0.50/unit. Enter your current month’s FPA from your latest bill for the most accurate calculator result.
Yes — select Commercial from the consumer type dropdown. The calculator applies the A-2 commercial tariff rates (Rs. 25.62/unit for under 5kW). For industrial connections and agricultural tube-wells, the calculator gives a close estimate but your actual bill may differ significantly based on your sanctioned load and demand charges.
For domestic single-phase connections: Rs. 75/month minimum even with zero consumption. For domestic three-phase: Rs. 150/month. For commercial single-phase: Rs. 175/month. For agricultural tube-wells: Rs. 2,000/month — the highest minimum in the MEPCO tariff structure, applying regardless of whether the pump ran at all.
Crossing from 200 to 201 units triggers unprotected billing on ALL units — not just the one extra unit. In a peak summer month (July, August) with FPA at Rs. 3.50/unit, the difference between 199 units (protected) and 201 units (unprotected) is approximately Rs. 2,500–3,500 in total bill increase. This is why keeping consumption under 200 units is the single highest-financial-impact action for South Punjab households.
The three highest-impact actions: (1) Replace a standard non-inverter AC with an inverter AC — reduces summer consumption by 200+ units/month and keeps most households under the protected threshold. (2) Set AC thermostat to 26°C instead of 20°C — saves 40–50% of AC electricity at zero cost. (3) Pay before the due date — eliminates the 10% Late Payment Surcharge, which on a Rs. 10,000 bill saves Rs. 1,000 per month.
A Final Word on MEPCO Bill Calculator
The calculator is most useful when you use it proactively — at the start of each month before your bill arrives, not after. Entering your estimated units in the first week of the month tells you whether you are on track to stay under 200 units (protected rates) or whether you are heading for a threshold crossing that could add Rs. 3,000–5,000 to your bill.
For the most accurate estimate: enter your actual meter reading minus the previous reading, use the current month’s FPA rate from your last bill, and select the correct consumer type and connection type. The calculator then gives you a figure within 5–10% of your actual bill.
Calculator uses NEPRA-approved MEPCO domestic tariff rates for 2026. FPA, QTA, and other variable charges are entered manually for accuracy. Last verified July 2026. meetyourbills.com is independent — not affiliated with MEPCO or any government body.
