How MEPCO Unit Price Affects Your Monthly Bill
Let’s take a simple example.
- A family using 90 units stays protected and pays a lower rate.
- A family using 250 units moves into higher slabs and pays more per unit.
- A house crossing 700 units pays the highest rate on extra units.
So the system and user clearly benefits from controlling their extra usage.

How to Calculate Your MEPCO Bill
Calculating your MEPCO bill is simple once you know the per unit price and your monthly consumption in units.
Unit Calculate Formula:
Total Bill= Units Consumed × Unit Rate + Fixed Charges + Taxes
Example:
- Units Consumed = 350 units
- Unit Rate = 22.98 PKR
- Fixed Charges = 100 PKR
MEPCO Units Calculation:
(UC) 350 × 22.98(UP) = 8043 (PKR)
=( PKR) 8043 + 100(FC) = 8143 (Total Bill)This method helps you verify your MEPCO bill unit price and ensure you are not overcharged. Use our bill calculator just enter your units and it automatically includes taxes and charges.
