Electricity Bill Calculator Nepal – Free NEA Bill Calculator
Calculate your Nepal electricity bill using your previous and present meter readings. This free Electricity Bill Calculator Nepal calculates electricity units, progressive energy charges, minimum service charge, applicable VAT, arrears and payment adjustments.
The calculator supports 5A, 15A, 30A and 60A single-phase domestic meters. It also includes a submeter bill splitter for tenants, rooms, floors, shops and shared electricity connections.
Present Reading − Previous Reading = Electricity Units
For household bills above 50 units, the calculator treats the energy charge for the first 50 units as VAT-free and applies the 5% household VAT to the remaining taxable amount in the current bill calculation.
NEA Main Meter Bill Calculator
Enter your meter readings, payment timing and any arrears or adjustment shown on your electricity bill.
Use this for an arrears credit/debit printed on the bill.
NEA Submeter Bill Splitter for Tenants
Use the submeter calculator when several tenants, rooms, floors or other users share one main electricity connection.
How to Calculate an NEA Electricity Bill
The first step is to calculate electricity consumption from your meter. Use the following formula:
Electricity Units = Present Meter Reading − Previous Meter Reading
For example, if the previous reading is 9,000 and the present reading is 9,100:
9,100 − 9,000 = 100 units
The 100 units are then calculated according to the applicable domestic electricity tariff, meter capacity and billing components.
Current NEA Domestic Electricity Tariff
The current single-phase domestic tariff uses different minimum charges and energy rates depending on monthly consumption and meter capacity.
| Monthly Units | 5A | 15A | 30A | 60A |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 0–20 | Rs.30 / Rs.0* | Rs.50 / Rs.4 | Rs.75 / Rs.5 | Rs.125 / Rs.6 |
| 21–30 | Rs.50 / Rs.6.50 | Rs.75 / Rs.6.50 | Rs.100 / Rs.6.50 | Rs.125 / Rs.6.50 |
| 31–50 | Rs.50 / Rs.8 | Rs.75 / Rs.8 | Rs.100 / Rs.8 | Rs.125 / Rs.8 |
| 51–100 | Rs.75 / Rs.9.50 | Rs.100 / Rs.9.50 | Rs.125 / Rs.9.50 | Rs.150 / Rs.9.50 |
| 101–250 | Rs.100 / Rs.9.50 | Rs.125 / Rs.9.50 | Rs.150 / Rs.9.50 | Rs.200 / Rs.9.50 |
| Above 250 | Rs.150 / Rs.11 | Rs.175 / Rs.11 | Rs.200 / Rs.11 | Rs.250 / Rs.11 |
The values in the table are shown as minimum/service charge followed by energy rate. For 5A, the first 20 units carry no energy charge when total monthly consumption is 20 units or less; when consumption exceeds 20 units, the first 20 units are charged at Rs.3 per unit.
Why the 100-Unit Example Produces Rs.880.00
For a 15A domestic meter consuming 100 units:
20 × Rs.4 = Rs.80
10 × Rs.6.50 = Rs.65
20 × Rs.8 = Rs.160
50 × Rs.9.50 = Rs.475.00
Total energy charge: Rs.780.00
15A minimum charge for the 51–100 unit bracket: Rs.100
Current amount: Rs.780.00 + Rs.100 = Rs.880.00
How NEA VAT Is Calculated for Household Electricity
For household electricity consumption, the current VAT framework provides a 50-unit exemption. When consumption exceeds 50 units, the applicable household electricity transaction is subject to 5% VAT under the current rules.
This calculator represents the printed bill structure by first calculating the energy amount attributable to the first 50 units as the VAT-free amount. The remaining portion of the current amount becomes the taxable base.
For the 100-unit 15A example:
First 50 units: Rs.305.00
Current amount: Rs.880.00
VAT taxable amount: Rs.880.00 − Rs.305.00 = Rs.575.00
VAT: Rs.575.00 × 5% = Rs.28.75
The bill displays this as: Rs.28.75
Real-World NEA Bill Calculation Example
A real NEA domestic bill with a 15A connection and 100 units can be reproduced as follows:
| Energy Charges | Rs.780.00 |
| Minimum Charges | Rs.100.00 |
| Current Amount | Rs.880.00 |
| VAT Free Amount for First 50 Units | Rs.305.00 |
| VAT Taxable Amount | Rs.575.00 |
| VAT 5% | Rs.28.75 |
| Arrears Adjustment | −Rs.0.28 |
| Final Bill Amount | Rs.908.47 |
|---|
This calculation uses the same structure as the real-world bill example: the unrounded VAT amount is retained during the calculation and the final bill is truncated to two decimal places.
What Is the Price of One Unit of Electricity in Nepal?
There is no single flat rate for every household. The price depends on monthly consumption and meter capacity.
The domestic tariff used by this calculator ranges from the applicable first-slab rate up to Rs.11 per unit for consumption above 250 units.
NEA Electricity Bill Calculator With Meter Reading
If you already have the previous and current meter readings, you can calculate your monthly consumption without manually subtracting the numbers.
Previous Reading → Present Reading → Consumption Units → Bill Calculation
The calculator then applies the correct domestic consumption bracket and minimum service charge for your selected meter capacity.
NEA Arrears and Payment Adjustments
The calculator includes an arrears or adjustment field so you can account for a credit or debit shown on your electricity bill. Payment timing can also apply the available rebate or late-payment fine schedule.
NEA Electricity Bill Rebate and Late Payment
The calculator includes the payment adjustment schedule used by this calculator:
- Days 1–7: 2% rebate
- Days 8–15: normal bill
- Days 16–30: 5% fine
- Days 31–40: 10% fine
- Days 41–60: 25% fine
Always check the payment amount and deadline shown by your latest NEA bill or official payment system.
NEA Submeter Bill Splitter for Tenants
If several people use electricity from one main connection, the submeter feature can calculate each user’s measured consumption.
It can be useful for:
- Rental rooms
- Tenants
