Short answer: A LESCO bill in November 2026 is units x the uniform slab rate, plus a fixed charge per kW of sanctioned load, Rs 0.43 per unit F.C. surcharge, the fuel adjustment of Rs 2.3673 and quarterly adjustment of Rs 0.5194 per unit, and 18% sales tax on the total. LESCO does not add electricity duty. A typical Lahore home using 300 non-protected units on a 2 kW load pays about Rs 13,718, while 180 protected units on 1 kW cost about Rs 3,530.
Key takeaways
- LESCO charges the same government rates as every other company: Rs 10.54 to Rs 13.01 for protected homes and Rs 22.44 to Rs 47.20 for others.
- LESCO serves five districts: Lahore, Kasur, Sheikhupura, Okara and Nankana Sahib.
- November 2026 LESCO bills carry Rs 2.3673 fuel adjustment and Rs 0.5194 quarterly adjustment per unit.
- Since February 2026 every protected and non-protected LESCO home pays a fixed charge per kW of sanctioned load.
- Your LESCO bill is issued through the government’s PITC billing system, and you can view it with the reference number.
How to use this LESCO bill calculator
LESCO is already selected above. Take your last bill and enter four things: units consumed this month, sanctioned load in kW, whether you are protected, and whether you are on FBR’s Active Taxpayers List. The fuel and quarterly adjustment fields are prefilled with the November 2026 values; set them to zero if you only want the base bill. Running it in the last week of the billing month shows whether you can still stay under 200 or 300 units.
Which areas LESCO covers
Lahore Electric Supply Company is headquartered at 22-A Queens Road, Lahore. Its 2023 distribution licence from NEPRA lists its service territory as the districts of Lahore, Kasur, Sheikhupura, Okara and Nankana, about 16,151 square kilometres. In that filing LESCO reported about 5.89 million consumers, eight operation circles, 42 divisions and around 201 subdivisions.
The licence map names the eight circles as Lahore Central, Lahore Eastern, Lahore Northern, Lahore Southern, Kasur, Okara, Nankana and Sheikhupura. If you live in Gujranwala, Faisalabad or Sahiwal, you are with GEPCO, FESCO or MEPCO, not LESCO, although the rates are the same.
LESCO per unit rates in 2026
LESCO does not set its own residential rates. It charges the uniform tariff notified through S.R.O. 279(I)/2026 on 12 February 2026, which is still in force in November 2026. For homes with sanctioned load below 5 kW:
| LESCO category | Units | Rs per unit | Fixed Rs per kW |
|---|---|---|---|
| Protected | 1 to 100 | 10.54 | 200 |
| Protected | 101 to 200 | 13.01 | 300 |
| Non-protected | 1 to 100 | 22.44 | 275 |
| Non-protected | 101 to 200 | 28.91 | 300 |
| Non-protected | 201 to 300 | 33.10 | 350 |
| Non-protected | 301 to 400 | 36.46 | 400 |
| Non-protected | 401 to 500 | 38.95 | 500 |
| Non-protected | 501 to 600 | 40.22 | 675 |
| Non-protected | 601 to 700 | 41.85 | 675 |
| Non-protected | Above 700 | 47.20 | 675 |
Protected homes get the first 100 units at 10.54 and the rest at 13.01. Non-protected homes pay one rate on every unit, the rate of the slab their total falls in. The full electricity bill calculator guide explains the protected test, fixed charges and every bill line in detail.
Three LESCO bill examples for November 2026
All three include the November 2026 fuel adjustment (Rs 2.3673, from NEPRA’s FCA decision of 6 November 2026) and quarterly adjustment (Rs 0.5194, under S.R.O. 1501). I checked every figure with a script using the same formula as the calculator.
1. Small flat in Lahore: 180 units, protected, 1 kW
Cost of electricity: 100 x 10.54 = Rs 1,054 plus 80 x 13.01 = Rs 1,040.80, total Rs 2,094.80. Fixed charge 300 x 1 = Rs 300. F.C. surcharge 180 x 0.43 = Rs 77.40. FCA Rs 426.11. QTA Rs 93.49. GST 18% of Rs 2,991.80 = Rs 538.52. Total about Rs 3,530, or Rs 19.61 per unit.
2. Family house in Sheikhupura: 300 units, non-protected, 2 kW
Cost of electricity 300 x 33.10 = Rs 9,930. Fixed 350 x 2 = Rs 700. F.C. surcharge Rs 129. FCA Rs 710.19. QTA Rs 155.82. GST 18% of Rs 11,625.01 = Rs 2,092.50. Total about Rs 13,718, or Rs 45.73 per unit. At 320 units the same house moves to the Rs 36.46 slab and pays about Rs 15,964.
3. Larger home in Lahore with two ACs: 450 units, non-protected, 3 kW
Cost of electricity 450 x 38.95 = Rs 17,527.50. Fixed 500 x 3 = Rs 1,500. F.C. surcharge Rs 193.50. FCA Rs 1,065.29. QTA Rs 233.73. GST 18% of Rs 20,520.02 = Rs 3,693.60. Total about Rs 24,214, or Rs 53.81 per unit. This is just under the Rs 25,000 line where a non-filer starts paying 7.5% income tax.
A protected LESCO home using 180 units pays about Rs 19.61 per unit all in; a 450 unit home pays Rs 53.81, almost three times as much.
How to check and download your LESCO bill online
- Open the PITC bill page for LESCO. PITC is the government IT company that issues DISCO bills.
- Enter the reference number printed at the top of your paper bill.
- View or print the bill, then compare units, sanctioned load and each charge with the calculator above.
Use only the PITC page or LESCO’s own official website. Many look-alike sites rank for “LESCO bill” and some domains that contain the word LESCO have nothing to do with the company.
What is different about LESCO bills
- Same tariff, PITC billing. LESCO is one of the ten government owned companies on the uniform tariff, and its bills come from the shared PITC system, so the layout matches IESCO, MEPCO and FESCO bills.
- No electricity duty. The duty line is zero on DISCO bills since July 2025, unlike K-Electric, which still adds 1.5%.
If a LESCO bill looks wrong, raise it first with the office printed on your bill. If it is not resolved, you can file a complaint with the regulator through NEPRA’s online complaint system.
Bills in other cities follow the same rules with local details: see the IESCO bill calculator for Islamabad and Rawalpindi, the K-Electric bill calculator for Karachi, the MEPCO bill calculator for Multan and South Punjab and the FESCO bill calculator for Faisalabad.
Other companies: GEPCO, PESCO, HESCO, SEPCO, QESCO and TESCO bill calculators.
Frequently asked questions
What is the LESCO per unit price in 2026?
The base rate is Rs 10.54 to Rs 13.01 for protected homes and Rs 22.44 to Rs 47.20 for non-protected homes. After fixed charges, adjustments and 18% GST, a non-protected LESCO home using 300 to 700 units pays roughly Rs 46 to Rs 57 per unit in November 2026.
How do I check my LESCO bill online?
Open the LESCO bill page on bill.pitc.com.pk and enter the reference number from your paper bill. You can view and print the current bill there.
How do I use the LESCO bill calculator with FCA?
The fuel adjustment field above is prefilled with Rs 2.3673, the figure on November 2026 bills. FCA is charged on the units of the reference month, two months earlier, so the result is exact only if your usage then was similar.
Is LESCO more expensive than other companies?
No. LESCO, IESCO, MEPCO, FESCO and the other government companies charge identical residential rates and fixed charges. A K-Electric bill for the same units is slightly different because of its 1.5% electricity duty.
How much is a 300 unit LESCO bill?
About Rs 13,718 for a non-protected 2 kW home in November 2026, including the fuel and quarterly adjustments. Without the adjustments it is about Rs 12,696.
Does the LESCO calculator work for 3 phase or commercial meters?
It covers residential connections below 5 kW sanctioned load. Homes of 5 kW or more are on time of use rates, and commercial connections have a different tariff, so use your bill for those.
Does the LESCO bill calculator work for protected consumers?
Yes. Choose Protected if you used 200 units or less in each of the last 6 months. A protected Lahore home using 180 units on 1 kW pays about Rs 3,530 in November 2026, including the fuel and quarterly adjustments.
What happens if my LESCO bill goes above 200 units?
The whole bill moves to non-protected rates and you lose protected status for the next 6 months. On 1 kW with no adjustments, 200 protected units cost about Rs 3,234 and 201 units about Rs 8,366.
This LESCO bill calculator gives an estimate based on the uniform residential tariff in NEPRA’s decision of 11 February 2026 (S.R.O. 279(I)/2026), NEPRA’s September 2026 fuel adjustment and S.R.O. 1501(I)/2026, the Sales Tax Act 1990 and section 235 of the Income Tax Ordinance 2001. Rates and service area last checked 10 November 2026. It follows the official slabs and fixed charges exactly but does not cover lifeline, time of use, prepaid, commercial or net metering connections, arrears or late payment surcharge. Your actual bill is what LESCO issues.
