A protected home using 200 units pays about Rs 4,021 with the current adjustments and a 2 kW load. An unprotected home pays about Rs 8,786 for the same units.
200 is the most important number on a Pakistani electricity bill. It is the top of the protected tariff, and one unit more changes the rate on every unit.

What happens at 201 units
At 201 units a protected home is no longer protected. The calculator bills it as unprotected: all 201 units at Rs 33.10, with fixed charges of Rs 350 per kW.
- 200 units protected: Rs 4,020.81
- 201 units: Rs 9,952.26
One unit more roughly doubles the bill, and the loss of protected status then lasts about six months. In September 2026 the Power Division said it was reviewing that six month rule; until a change is notified, it still applies. If your meter is near 200 towards the end of the billing month, cutting back for a few days is worth it. See the 300 units bill for the next level.
Protected bills up to 200 units
Protected home, 2 kW load, the current adjustments.
| Units | Cost of electricity | Estimated total bill |
|---|---|---|
| 100 | Rs 1,054 | Rs 1,980 |
| 125 | Rs 1,379 | Rs 2,667 |
| 150 | Rs 1,705 | Rs 3,117 |
| 175 | Rs 2,030 | Rs 3,569 |
| 200 | Rs 2,355 | Rs 4,021 |
A 2 kW sanctioned load, electricity duty of 1.5% and no meter rent are assumed, with the August 2026 fuel adjustment, billed in October 2026 and the quarterly adjustment on September, October and November 2026 bills. Your own load, arrears and any late payment surcharge make the real bill different, so the printed amount is what you pay.

How long do I lose protected status after crossing 200 units?
Protected status needs six straight months at 200 units or less. So one month above 200 usually means about six months at unprotected rates. The government said in September 2026 that it was reviewing this rule; until a change is notified, it still applies.
Is the 200 unit subsidy still available in 2026?
Yes. The protected tariff for homes using up to 200 units remains in the February 2026 NEPRA tariff, and the energy minister said in May 2026 that the subsidy for these consumers would continue.
