KE Bill Calculator
Estimate energy charges, fixed charges and the supported quarterly adjustment. This residential subtotal excludes taxes and other charges listed below. For an A-2 account, select Commercial A-2.
Estimated Subtotal
Before taxes, FCA and other excluded charges.
Taxes, duty, FCA, other surcharges, minimum-charge top-ups, fees, arrears and late charges are not automatically included.
How the Calculator Applies KE Tariffs
The tool supports regular residential lifeline, protected, unprotected and time-of-use scenarios. For A-2 accounts, use the commercial calculator. This residential model does not cover temporary, prepaid, net-metering or special-package billing.
Energy Charges
For an unprotected account, the tool selects the rate band from total units and applies that rate to all units. It does not add every lower band progressively.
For protected usage up to 200 units, the first 100 units use PKR 10.54 and the remaining units use PKR 13.01. For lifeline usage, up to 50 units use PKR 3.95. Above 50 and up to 100 units use PKR 7.74 for all units. Eligibility must be confirmed separately.
Time-of-use calculations add peak units at PKR 46.85 and off-peak units at PKR 34.53. Use separate meter registers from your bill, not an assumed split.
Fixed Charges and the Quarterly Adjustment
For non-time-of-use domestic accounts, the published fixed-charge rate is multiplied by sanctioned load. For time-of-use domestic accounts, it is multiplied by the higher of recorded MDI and 50% of sanctioned load.
The selected September, October or November 2026 scenario adds PKR 0.5194 per eligible kWh under SRO 1501(I)/2026. Lifeline customers are exempt. Prepaid and incremental-consumption-package scenarios are outside this tool’s scope.
The “base tariff only” option omits that adjustment. It is a comparison mode, not a claim that no adjustment is payable for another month.
Charges Excluded from the Subtotal
The tool does not automatically calculate GST, electricity duty, income tax, FCA, PHL or other surcharges, municipal or other fees, minimum-charge top-ups, arrears, late-payment amounts or account-specific credits. These can materially change the payable amount.
If you know an excluded rupee amount, add it through “Add known charges or credits.” This is a simple addition to the subtotal. It does not determine eligibility, calculate tax on that amount or check whether you entered every missing item. Do not add an energy, fixed-charge or quarterly-adjustment amount a second time.
Billing-period proration, revised or estimated readings, incremental-consumption incentives and changes after the review date are not modeled. Use the charge explanation guide to reconcile an issued bill. For payment, always open the official bill.
Calculation for a 300-Unit Residential Bill
An illustrative unprotected residential account for September 2026, with no additional amount entered.
| Component | Calculation | PKR |
|---|---|---|
| Energy | 300 × 33.10 | 9,930.00 |
| Fixed charge | 2 kW × 350 | 700.00 |
| Quarterly adjustment | 300 × 0.5194 | 155.82 |
| Subtotal | Before excluded charges | 10,785.82 |
This is not a sample issued bill. Changing category, load or units changes the calculation. Amounts are rounded to two decimals by component.
Choose the Category and Load on Your Bill
Category and approved connection load affect the estimate independently of monthly units. Copy these details from your bill or confirm them with KE.
Confirm Your Tariff Category
The residential bill guide connects category, readings, load and payment checks in one place.
Use your bill’s confirmed classification. Low usage this month alone does not establish protected or lifeline eligibility. If you are unsure, ask KE before relying on a category-specific estimate.
The tool rejects unsupported unit and load combinations instead of silently switching your category. Switching categories resets example values where needed. Replace them with your own details.
Use Your Sanctioned Connection Load
Sanctioned load is the approved connection load shown in your account information. Do not replace it with an appliance’s wattage or this month’s kWh. MDI is a separate maximum-demand measurement used in the time-of-use calculation.
If the load is unknown, consult your bill or KE rather than assuming the default example is yours.
Published Sources & Review Date
Rates and load-based fixed-charge rules were checked against SRO 279(I)/2026, Annex C, PDF pages 20–21. The quarterly adjustment comes from SRO 1501(I)/2026, page 1. Reviewed 22 September 2026.
The energy slab method follows KE’s published residential calculator behavior. Its older rate values are not used here. Read the rate table and source notes for context. A newer notification or account-specific treatment can override these scenarios.
