NEA electricity bill calculator
Estimate your monthly Nepal Electricity Authority bill from the units you consumed and your connection's ampere band — applying NEA's slab-wise domestic energy charge plus the fixed service charge.
Pick your supply band, enter the kWh from your meter, and see the energy charge, service charge and total broken down slab by slab. A planning-level tool, computed in your browser.
Your usage
Units billed this month — the difference between your two meter readings.
Your sanctioned connection size. Most homes are 5A or 15A single-phase; larger homes use 30A or 60A.
Service charge (15A)Rs 100
A monthly minimum charge set by your ampere band and the consumption slab you fall into.

An estimate for guidance only, using the ERC/NEA domestic single-phase tariff effective FY 2080/81. NEA applies a block tariff: your total monthly units place you in one slab, and every unit is charged at that slab's rate plus that slab's service charge. Real bills may also include a Time-of-Day adjustment, fuel surcharge, rounding or arrears, and tariffs are revised periodically — verify the current NEA tariff and read your own bill. This is not an official Nepal Electricity Authority assessment.
From meter units to the rupee total
NEA bills the units you use in price tiers, then adds a flat charge for your connection size. Both depend on your ampere band.
Slab split
Your consumed units are divided across the NEA slabs — 0–20, 21–30, 31–50, 51–100, 101–250 and above 250 kWh.
Energy charge
Each slab is multiplied by its per-unit rate for your ampere band; summing the slabs gives the total energy charge.
Add service charge
The fixed monthly service charge for your band is added to the energy charge to give the total bill.
NEA bills, answered
How is a NEA electricity bill calculated?+
Your bill has two parts: a slab-wise energy charge and a fixed service (minimum) charge. The Nepal Electricity Authority splits your consumed units (kWh) across consumption slabs — 0–20, 21–30, 31–50, 51–100, 101–250 and above 250 units — and charges a per-unit rate for each slab. Adding the slab charges gives the energy charge; the fixed service charge for your ampere band is then added to reach the total.
What is the ampere band and why does it change my bill?+
The ampere band is the sanctioned size of your connection — commonly 5A, 15A, 30A or 60A. NEA applies a higher per-unit energy rate and a higher fixed service charge to larger bands. Most single-phase homes are on 5A or 15A; larger homes move to 30A or 60A.
What is the fixed service or minimum charge?+
It is a flat monthly charge tied to your ampere band that applies even if you consume zero units. It covers the cost of maintaining your connection. In this calculator it is added on top of the slab-wise energy charge to give the total bill.
Are these the exact current NEA rates?+
No. The slab rates and service charges used here reflect the long-standing published NEA domestic schedule and are indicative only. NEA revises its tariff from time to time, and real bills may add a Time-of-Day adjustment, demand charge, fuel surcharge, rounding or arrears. Always verify the current NEA tariff and check your own bill.
How can I lower my electricity bill?+
Because the per-unit rate rises with each slab, cutting consumption in the higher slabs saves the most. Using efficient LED lighting and appliances, switching off standby loads, and (where available) solar can keep more of your usage in the cheaper lower slabs.
Sources & data note
Based on the Nepal Electricity Authority domestic tariff: a slab-wise per-kWh energy charge by ampere band (5A, 15A, 30A, 60A) plus a fixed monthly service charge. The slab rates and service charges used here are indicative of the long-standing published schedule and are easy to edit in the component. NEA and the Electricity Regulatory Commission revise tariffs from time to time, and real bills may include Time-of-Day, demand, fuel-surcharge, rounding or arrears items. Always verify the current NEA tariff and check your own bill — this is not an official assessment.
