How your bill is calculated
- Cost of electricity: units × your slab rate. Non-protected consumers pay the rate of the slab they fall in on all units, so crossing a slab line by even one unit raises the whole bill.
- Fixed charges: your sanctioned load in kW × the fixed rate for your slab.
- FC surcharge: Rs 3.23 per unit (Rs 0.43 for protected consumers).
- Fuel price adjustment (FPA): a monthly per-unit charge or credit decided by NEPRA.
- Quarterly adjustment (QTA): a per-unit adjustment that can be positive or negative.
- Electricity duty: about 1.5% of the energy cost and adjustments.
- GST: 18% on the bill amount.
- Income tax: 7.5% extra for non-filers when the bill is Rs 25,000 or more.
Why HESCO bills rise in summer
Southern Sindh is hot for most of the year, so HESCO bills stay high for longer than in the north. Strong sunshine all year makes solar especially effective here. Sukkur and Larkana are served by SEPCO, which uses the same tariff.
Protected vs non-protected consumers
You are a protected consumer if your home used 200 units or less in each of the last six months. Protected consumers pay much lower rates. Cross 200 units even once and you can lose protected status for the next six months, so keep an eye on summer AC use.
How to read your HESCO bill
- Reference number: the 14-digit number used to check your bill online.
- Units consumed: the difference between present and previous readings. Enter this in the calculator.
- Sanctioned load: shown in kW; it decides your fixed charges.
- FPA and QTA: listed separately; copy the per-unit rates into the calculator for an exact match.
- Bill history: the last 12 months of units, which helps you size solar.
Cut your HESCO bill with solar
Every unit your solar panels make and you use directly removes the most expensive units from your bill, and can drop you into a lower slab. In Hyderabad, a 5 kW system makes roughly 600–700 units a month. Enter your expected solar units in the calculator above to see your bill after solar. For sizing, try the solar calculator and read how net billing treats exported units.

Frequently asked questions
How can I calculate my HESCO bill?
Enter your units and sanctioned load in the HESCO bill calculator above. It applies the NEPRA slab rate, fixed charges, FC surcharge, FPA, QTA, electricity duty and 18% GST.
What is the HESCO per unit rate in 2026?
The base rate runs from Rs 10.54 for protected consumers to Rs 47.20 above 700 units. After taxes and adjustments, most homes pay about Rs 45–65 per unit overall.
Why is my HESCO bill so high?
Usually because you crossed into a higher slab, lost protected status, or a large fuel adjustment was added. The calculator shows if you are just over a slab line.
Does this calculator work for SEPCO?
Yes. SEPCO (Sukkur and Larkana) follows the same NEPRA uniform tariff, so you can use this calculator for SEPCO bills too.
