Electricity Bill for 100, 200, 300 and 500 Units in Pakistan

The short answer

Under the residential tariff in force since February 2026, 200 units cost about Rs 3,133 for a protected household and 201 units about Rs 8,264 — before the fuel adjustment. The jump is not a mistake: one unit over 200 makes the month unprotected, and unprotected consumers pay every unit at the rate of the slab their total falls in.

What each consumption level costs

How these figures are worked out

• Rates per unit and fixed charges from the residential schedule notified under S.R.O. 279(I)/2026, effective 12 February 2026.
• Protected consumers get the benefit of one previous slab: at 150 units, the first 100 are charged at the 1–100 rate and the rest at the 101–200 rate.
• Unprotected consumers get no slab benefit: every unit is charged at the rate of the slab the month's total falls in.
• GST at 18%, applied to energy charges and the fixed charge together.
• No PTV licence fee or electricity duty — both were removed from electricity bills in July 2025.
• Lifeline, time-of-use and prepaid connections are billed differently and are not shown.

Why one extra unit can cost so much

Because unprotected bills price every unit at a single slab rate, the bill jumps at every slab edge, not only at 200. At 300 units the whole month is charged at the 201–300 rate; at 301 it is charged at the 301–400 rate, so the bill rises from about Rs 12,130 to Rs 13,422 for a single unit.
