The bill shows the FPA month, e.g. "FPA for JUL-26". Enter your units for that month from the 12-month history. Leave blank to use this month's units.

Quarterly adjustment billed September to November 2026. It can be negative, e.g. -0.45. Use the figure on your bill if it differs.

Ticked because many recent bills still show it. Untick it if your bill has no electricity duty line.

Non-filers pay 7.5% income tax when the bill is Rs 25,000 or more.

Bills round the current bill to the nearest rupee and put the few paisa of difference in the cost of electricity line. The late payment surcharge is on the electricity charges without the fuel adjustment and taxes; your bill prints the last date for the lower amount. The first bill of a new connection can cover more than one month.

Enter your FESCO units and sanctioned load. With the current adjustments, 350 units for an unprotected 2 kW home comes to about Rs 18,771, which is Rs 53.63 a unit all in.

FESCO is the Faisalabad Electric Supply Company. It serves Faisalabad, Sargodha, Jhang, Toba Tek Singh, Mianwali, Bhakkar and Khushab. The tariff is the national uniform one, so the main things that change a FESCO bill are your units and your sanctioned load.

Worked example: 350 units, unprotected, 2 kW

At 350 units you are in the 301 to 400 slab. All 350 units are charged Rs 36.46.

Line Working Amount
Cost of electricity 350 × 36.46 Rs 12,761.00
Fixed charges 2.0 kW × Rs 400 Rs 800.00
FC surcharge 350 × 3.23 Rs 1,130.50
Quarterly adjustment 350 × 0.5194 Rs 181.79
Fuel adjustment 350 × 2.3673 Rs 828.56
Electricity charges Rs 15,701.85
Electricity duty 1.5% of cost of electricity and QTA Rs 194.14
GST 18% of the charges above and duty, rounded Rs 2,712.00
Duty on fuel adjustment 1.5% of the fuel adjustment Rs 12.43
GST on fuel adjustment 18% of the fuel adjustment and its duty, rounded Rs 151.00
Government charges Rs 3,069.57
Total Rs 18,771.42

After the due date: Rs 19,515 if paid within 3 days (5% late payment surcharge), or Rs 20,258 after that (10%). Both surcharges are worked out on Rs 14,872.87, the electricity charges less the fuel adjustment, with no tax on top.

How sanctioned load changes a FESCO bill

Fixed charges are billed per kW of sanctioned load, not per house. Many bigger homes in Faisalabad have a load of 3 kW or more, so this line matters.

Same 350 units, different loads:

Sanctioned load Fixed charges Estimated bill
1 kW Rs 400 Rs 18,299.42
2 kW Rs 800 Rs 18,771.42
3 kW Rs 1,200 Rs 19,243.42
5 kW Rs 2,000 Rs 20,187.42

A sanctioned load of 5 kW or more normally means a time of use (peak and off-peak) meter, which has different rates. This calculator is for loads under 5 kW.

FESCO unit rate and adjustments

FESCO base rates are the same as every other company's. See them on the electricity unit price page. Each unit also carries:

  • fuel adjustment: Rs 2.3673 (September 2026 fuel adjustment, billed in November 2026)
  • quarterly adjustment: Rs 0.5194 (September, October and November 2026 bills)
  • FC surcharge: Rs 3.23 (Rs 0.43 on protected bills)

FESCO's area is in Punjab, where homes were exempted from electricity duty by a 2025 law. A Punjab bill from April 2026 still showed duty at 1.5%, so match the duty box to your own bill.

Reading your FESCO bill

The units consumed and sanctioned load are both printed on the bill. The load is in kW. If your bill shows the FPA or QTA per unit, you can type them into the adjustment boxes. The reference number is for paying and complaints; the calculator does not need it.

LESCO and MEPCO areas border FESCO's and bill on the same national tariff, so their calculators work the same way: the LESCO bill calculator and the MEPCO bill calculator.

Questions people ask

What is the FESCO unit rate?

FESCO homes pay the February 2026 NEPRA uniform rates. The 301 to 400 slab is Rs 36.46 per unit for unprotected users. With the current adjustments, surcharge and taxes, 350 units cost about Rs 53.63 per unit.

How do I find my sanctioned load?

It is printed on your FESCO bill in kW, near your connection details. Fixed charges are that number times the slab rate, for example 2 kW × Rs 400 = Rs 800 in the 301 to 400 slab.

Can I lower my FESCO fixed charges?

Fixed charges follow the sanctioned load recorded for your connection, and the slab your units fall in. Using fewer units can move you to a lower slab with a lower per kW rate. Changing the recorded load is a matter to raise with FESCO directly.

How much is a 400 unit FESCO bill?

About Rs 21,319 for an unprotected 2 kW home with the current adjustments, including duty and GST. At 401 units it rises to about Rs 22,801, as every unit moves to Rs 38.95.
