⚠️ Understanding the New Sanctioned-Load Fixed Charges (Jan 2026 Onwards)
From January 2026, NEPRA completely changed how fixed charges apply. They are now calculated per kilowatt of your sanctioned (connected) load, not by how much you consume.
Example: A household with a 5 kW sanctioned load consuming only 150 units (Protected) previously paid Rs 0 in fixed charges. Now they pay 5 × Rs300 = Rs 1,500/month in fixed charges alone, regardless of consumption.
📘 How to Use This Calculator
- Select your category: Choose Lifeline, Protected, or Non-Protected. Check your physical bill if unsure.
- Enter sanctioned load: Found on your meter card or bill (e.g., 3 kW, 5 kW).
- Enter your usage: Put in previous/current readings or direct estimated units.
- Calculate: See the full breakdown including new taxes and fixed charges.
❓ Frequently Asked Questions
Why is my electricity bill so high even though my units are low?
From January 2026, fixed charges are calculated based on your sanctioned load (kW), not consumed units. Even for 50 units on a 5kW connection, you pay Rs 1,000–1,500 in fixed charges alone, plus GST (17%), FPA, and QTA.
How do I know if I’m Protected or Non-Protected?
If your average consumption over the last 6 consecutive months is 200 units or less, you are Protected. Exceeding 200 units even once makes you Non-Protected, meaning higher unit rates.
What is my sanctioned load and how do I find it?
It’s the maximum load capacity approved for your connection (e.g., 3kW or 5kW), printed on your official bill. NEPRA now uses this to calculate monthly fixed charges.
