TESCO Electricity Bill Calculator

Estimate your TESCO bill under NEPRA's uniform national tariff, including the protected-consumer cliff, current QTA, FPA, duty and GST

Consumer Type
Phase
Previous 6 Months' Units (optional — determines protected status)

Leave blank to judge protected status by this month alone.

Tribal Electric Supply Company

Coverage: Erstwhile FATA districts (North/South Waziristan, Khyber, Kurram, Orakzai, Bajaur, Mohmand).

Complaints/helpline: 118. Net-metering and bill queries can also be raised through TESCO's own customer service — www.pesco.gov.pk.

TESCObills under the federal government's uniform national tariff — the same per-unit rates, QTA, and FPA apply here as at every other ex-WAPDA DISCO. What differs is the paperwork:TESCO bills list this coverage area, this complaint number, and route net-metering/net-billing applications through TESCO's own commercial office, not a shared national one.

The Protected-Status Cliff

Domestic non-protected slabs in Pakistan are not marginal. If your consumption crosses a slab boundary — or crosses 200 units and loses protected status — your entiremonth's units are re-priced at the new, higher rate. One extra unit near a boundary can add thousands of rupees, not paisas.

What's included

Base NEPRA energy tariff, the current Quarterly Tariff Adjustment (QTA), the latest notified Fuel Price Adjustment (FPA), Neelum-Jhelum surcharge, provincial Electricity Duty, GST, and TV licence fee.

Scoped to ex-WAPDA DISCOs on the uniform national tariff. K-Electric bills under a separate NEPRA determination not covered here. See full rate tables.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why did my bill jump so much for just a few extra units?
Pakistan's domestic electricity slabs are cliff-priced, not marginal. If your consumption crosses a slab boundary — or crosses 200 units and loses protected-consumer status — your entire month's units are re-billed at the new, higher per-unit rate, not just the units above the threshold. A single extra unit near 200 can add thousands of rupees.
What counts as a 'protected' consumer?
A non-time-of-use residential consumer whose consumption has stayed at or below 200 units per month consistently for the current month and the prior six months. Protected consumers also get one partial concession non-protected consumers don't: NEPRA blends their first 100 units at the lower rate even once they're in the 101-200 slab.
Does this calculator include every charge on a real bill?
It includes the base NEPRA energy tariff, the current Quarterly Tariff Adjustment, the latest notified Fuel Price Adjustment, Neelum-Jhelum surcharge, provincial Electricity Duty, GST, and TV licence fee. It deliberately excludes a government debt-service/financing-cost surcharge that appears on real bills, because available sources gave conflicting per-unit figures for it.
Does this work for K-Electric consumers?
No — this calculator is scoped to the ten ex-WAPDA DISCOs (LESCO, IESCO, MEPCO, FESCO, GEPCO, PESCO, HESCO, SEPCO, QESCO, TESCO), which currently share one uniform national tariff. K-Electric runs its own separate NEPRA tariff determination that isn't modeled here.

Electricity tariffs for the ten ex-WAPDA distribution companies — LESCO (Lahore), IESCO (Islamabad/Rawalpindi), MEPCO (Multan), FESCO (Faisalabad), GEPCO (Gujranwala/Sialkot), PESCO (Peshawar), HESCO and SEPCO (Sindh), QESCO (Quetta/Balochistan), and TESCO — are set uniformly by NEPRA under a national tariff policy, then layered with a Quarterly Tariff Adjustment and monthly Fuel Price Adjustment that change on their own separate schedule.

Why your bill changes even when your usage doesn't

NEPRA's base tariff is only the starting point — the Quarterly Tariff Adjustment (QTA) revises rates roughly every three months based on the DISCOs' actual cost of service, and the monthly Fuel Price Adjustment (FPA) passes through changes in the fuel cost of generation almost every single billing cycle. This is exactly why a household using the identical number of units two months in a row can still see a meaningfully different bill — the per-unit rate itself moved, not just the consumption.

The protected-consumer cliff that catches people off guard

Below a certain monthly consumption threshold, households qualify for "protected consumer" status with lower per-unit rates — but crossing that threshold, even by a small margin in one particularly hot month, can shift the entire bill (not just the units above the threshold) onto the higher non-protected tariff structure, depending on the specific slab design in force. This single-month usage spike effect is one of the most common sources of "why is my bill suddenly so much higher" confusion.

How this connects to your other calculations

If a large share of your bill is driven by specific appliances (air conditioners especially), the Appliance Electricity Calculator breaks down which devices are actually driving the rupee total. And if you're considering going partly off-grid, the Solar System Size Calculator and Solar Payback Calculator both use this same NEPRA tariff data to model realistic savings under the current net billing rules, not outdated net metering assumptions.

Common mistakes

Consumers often compare their bill to a neighbor's or a previous year's bill without accounting for the QTA/FPA adjustments that moved in between — the per-unit rate itself is not static, and comparing consumption-only, ignoring that the rate changed, produces a misleading conclusion about whether your actual usage went up.
