PUNJAB: This estimator works out your FESCO bill from the units you used this month.

The estimator applies NEPRA’s domestic tariff, notified on 12 February 2026 under S.R.O. 279(I)/2026. It works out the energy charge slab by slab, then adds the fixed charge, fuel adjustment, quarterly adjustment, financing cost surcharge and GST.

A protected home used 200 units or less each month for six months. It pays Rs 10.54 a unit for the first 100 units and Rs 13.01 for units 101 to 200. Cross 200 units once and the status is lost for six months.

An unprotected home pays one rate on every unit. The rate is set by the slab the month’s total lands in, from Rs 22.44 up to 100 units to Rs 47.20 above 700 units. One extra unit can reprice the whole month.

The fuel adjustment changes every month and the quarterly adjustment every three months. The tool starts with NEPRA’s current figures for November 2026 bills.

Copy the fuel and quarterly figures from your latest bill for a closer estimate. Lifeline homes pay neither adjustment.

Two old charges no longer appear on bills. The Rs 35 PTV fee and the 1.5 percent electricity duty were removed from July 2025. If your bill still shows either line, it is a billing error worth reporting to FESCO.

A non-filer pays 7.5 percent advance income tax when the monthly bill reaches Rs 25,000. Filers on the Active Taxpayer List pay nothing. Choose your filer status in the tool.

This is an estimate, not your bill. Arrears, meter rent, detection bills and late payment surcharges are not included. Your actual bill is the final word. The official FESCO page shows it.

Frequently Asked Questions

How is my FESCO bill calculated?

Units are multiplied by the rate of your slab, then a fixed charge per kW of sanctioned load, fuel adjustment, quarterly adjustment, financing cost surcharge and 18 percent GST are added.

What is a protected consumer?

A home that used 200 units or less every month for the last six months. Protected homes pay Rs 10.54 for the first 100 units and Rs 13.01 for units 101 to 200. Crossing 200 units once takes the status away.

Why did my bill jump so much?

Unprotected homes pay one rate on every unit, so crossing a slab reprices the whole month. The biggest jump is at 200 units: 201 units costs Rs 6,653 in energy charges against Rs 5,782 for 200 units.

What are FPA and QTA?

FPA is the monthly fuel price adjustment, Rs 2.3673 a unit on November 2026 bills. QTA is the quarterly tariff adjustment, Rs 0.5194 a unit for September to November 2026. Lifeline homes pay neither.

Does the estimate include the TV fee and electricity duty?

No. The Rs 35 PTV fee and the 1.5 percent electricity duty were removed from bills in July 2025. If your bill still shows either line, report it to FESCO as a billing error.

Is this my actual bill?

No. This is an estimate from the tariff in force. Check your actual bill on the official FESCO page with the 14-digit reference number from any previous bill.
