PESCO Bill Calculator — How to Estimate Your Bill (2026)

Many PESCO customers search for a bill calculator to estimate their electricity charges before the bill arrives. While PESCO does not offer a built-in online calculator, you can estimate your bill using the 2026 NEPRA domestic tariff slabs:

PESCO Domestic Tariff Slabs 2026 (Estimated)

0 – 100 units (lifeline) Rs. 4.00 – 7.74 / unit
101 – 200 units Rs. 10.06 / unit
201 – 300 units Rs. 17.60 / unit
301 – 700 units Rs. 26.84 / unit
Above 700 units Rs. 26.84 / unit + peak surcharge
Calculator Note: Your actual PESCO bill includes fixed charges, Fuel Cost Adjustment (FCA), TV licence fee, taxes, and arrears in addition to unit charges. The slabs above are for estimation only. Your actual bill may differ — always verify at bill.pesco.com.pk once generated.

To estimate your bill: multiply your units consumed by the applicable slab rate, then add approximately Rs. 350–500 for fixed charges and taxes for a domestic connection. For a more accurate figure, check your previous month's bill for the fixed charges applicable to your specific tariff category and sanctioned load.

Why Monthly PESCO Bill Checks Matter in KPK

KPK's diverse terrain — from Peshawar's urban heat to mountainous districts like Swat and Chitral — means electricity usage patterns vary significantly. Checking your PESCO bill online as soon as it is generated each month gives you maximum time to verify your consumption against your actual usage, dispute errors early, arrange payment before the due date, and avoid the mandatory 10% late surcharge.

Bookmark bill.pesco.com.pk and save your 14-digit reference number as "PESCO Ref" in your phone contacts. A 30-second monthly check keeps you fully informed and surcharge-free throughout the year.
