Type the units from your LESCO bill and your sanctioned load. With the current adjustments, 250 units for an unprotected 2 kW home comes to about Rs 12,554, or Rs 50.22 per unit all in.
LESCO is the Lahore Electric Supply Company. It serves Lahore, Kasur, Okara, Sheikhupura and Nankana Sahib. It charges the same national uniform tariff as every other company, so the calculator uses the NEPRA rates directly.
LESCO unit price
The LESCO base rate for homes depends on your slab and consumer type. Protected homes pay Rs 10.54 for the first 100 units and Rs 13.01 for the next 100. Unprotected homes pay from Rs 22.44 (up to 100 units) to Rs 47.20 (above 700 units).
At 250 units an unprotected home is in the 201 to 300 slab, so all 250 units are charged Rs 33.10. The fuel and quarterly adjustments and the FC surcharge then add more to each unit before tax. The electricity unit price page shows the all-in figure at every slab.
This calculator covers homes only. LESCO commercial and industrial connections are on different tariffs.
Worked example: 250 units, unprotected, 2 kW
| Line | Working | Amount |
|---|---|---|
| Cost of electricity | 250 × 33.1 | Rs 8,275.00 |
| Fixed charges | 2.0 kW × Rs 350 | Rs 700.00 |
| FC surcharge | 250 × 3.23 | Rs 807.50 |
| Quarterly adjustment | 250 × 0.5194 | Rs 129.85 |
| Fuel adjustment | 250 × 2.3673 | Rs 591.83 |
| Electricity charges | Rs 10,504.18 | |
| Electricity duty | 1.5% of cost of electricity and QTA | Rs 126.07 |
| GST | 18% of the charges above and duty, rounded | Rs 1,807.00 |
| Duty on fuel adjustment | 1.5% of the fuel adjustment | Rs 8.88 |
| GST on fuel adjustment | 18% of the fuel adjustment and its duty, rounded | Rs 108.00 |
| Government charges | Rs 2,049.95 | |
| Total | Rs 12,554.13 |
Your printed figures may differ by a rupee or two because LESCO rounds each line. Meter rent, if your bill shows one, is added before GST.
Paying late. The bill above is Rs 12,554 to the rupee. Paid within 3 days after the due date it becomes Rs 13,050, with a late payment surcharge of 5% of Rs 9,912.22, the electricity charges without the fuel adjustment and taxes. After that the surcharge is 10% and the bill is Rs 13,545.
Electricity duty on LESCO bills
Punjab passed a law in 2025 that exempts domestic users from electricity duty. Even so, LESCO bills in 2026 have still shown duty at 1.5%, including a real April 2026 bill.
So check your own bill for a line called "electricity duty" or "ED". If it is there, leave the duty box ticked. If it is missing, untick it under Adjustments and taxes. For the 250 unit example, removing duty brings the bill to Rs 12,395.18.
That April bill is the one the main electricity bill calculator reproduces line by line: 228 units, Rs 11,028.
Reading your LESCO bill
You need three things from the bill for this calculator.
- Units consumed. The present reading minus the previous reading. It is also printed as a single figure.
- Sanctioned load. Shown in kW. Fixed charges are this figure times the slab's rate, so a 3 kW home pays half as much again as a 2 kW home.
- FPA and QTA rates. If the bill lists the per unit figures, type them into the adjustment boxes for an exact match.
The reference number identifies your connection. You do not need it for the calculator.
Neighbouring areas are served by other companies on the same national tariff: see the GEPCO bill calculator and FESCO bill calculator.

This is an estimate, not your LESCO bill. qaaf is not linked to LESCO or NEPRA. Arrears, instalments and the number of days in the billing period all change what you pay. The amounts for paying after the due date are shown under the estimate. Pay the amount printed on your own bill.
Questions people ask
What is the LESCO per unit price in 2026?
The base rate is Rs 10.54 to Rs 13.01 for protected homes and Rs 22.44 to Rs 47.20 for unprotected homes, under the NEPRA tariff in force since February 2026. After adjustments and taxes, 250 unprotected units work out at about Rs 50.22 per unit.
Is LESCO more expensive than other companies?
No. LESCO, MEPCO, IESCO and the rest all charge the same uniform national tariff. The fuel and quarterly adjustments are also identical. Two LESCO neighbours can still get different bills if one is protected, has a bigger sanctioned load, or is not on the Active Taxpayers List.
Why does my LESCO bill still show electricity duty?
Punjab exempted homes from electricity duty in 2025, but LESCO bills in 2026 have still carried a 1.5% duty line. Go by your own bill: leave the duty box ticked if the line is there, and untick it if the line is absent.
How much is a 300 unit LESCO bill?
With the current adjustments, 300 units for an unprotected home with 2 kW load comes to about Rs 14,900 including duty and GST. At 301 units it rises to about Rs 16,276, because every unit moves to the Rs 36.46 slab and the fixed charge goes up.
Which fuel adjustment does this LESCO calculator use?
It uses the September 2026 fuel adjustment, billed in November 2026, Rs 2.3673 per unit. NEPRA sets a new figure every month and it reaches bills two months later. If your bill shows a different FPA, type it into the FCA box.
