Understanding Each Charge
- Cost of Electricity — The base cost calculated from your consumed units according to MEPCO’s current tariff slabs. This is the largest component of your bill and increases progressively as your consumption rises through higher slabs.
- F.C. (Financing Cost) Surcharge — A surcharge that helps recover financing costs for the power sector. For consumers using over 100 units, this surcharge is applied at a higher per-unit rate, which is why it can form a noticeable portion of your total bill.
- Electricity Duty — A provincial tax applied as a percentage of your electricity cost, used to fund local government revenue.
- TV Fee — A fixed PTV license fee (Rs. 35) added to most residential bills, regardless of consumption.
- GST — General Sales Tax applied to your electricity charges and surcharges combined, which is why it may appear slightly higher than the standard 17% when calculated on the base cost alone.
- N.J. (Neelum-Jhelum) Surcharge — A fixed per-unit charge that funds the Neelum-Jhelum Hydropower Project, a major national power generation initiative.
How to Find Your Units Consumed
If you don’t already know your unit consumption, here’s how to calculate it:
- Check your meter reading from last month’s bill.
- Note your current meter reading.
- Subtract last month’s reading from your current reading.
- The difference is your units consumed for this billing period.
Enter that number into the calculator above to get your estimated bill.
A Note on Accuracy
This calculator provides an estimate only, based on current MEPCO/NEPRA tariff slabs and standard surcharges. Your actual bill may vary slightly due to fixed meter charges, mid-cycle tariff adjustments, rounding, or quarterly revisions by NEPRA. For exact figures, always refer to your official MEPCO bill or check it online using your reference number.
