Introduction

In 2026, NEPRA approved a new electricity tariff structure that introduced fixed monthly charges for domestic consumers. Previously, only higher-usage consumers paid fixed charges, but the new framework extends these charges to low-usage and protected consumers as well [citation:34]. This calculator helps you understand the fixed charge component of your bill based on your consumption category and units used.
