1. What is a 1 Unit kWh Calculator for Pakistan?

Definition: This calculator estimates the electricity cost based on units consumed (kWh) and the current electricity rate in Pakistan.

Purpose: It helps Pakistani consumers understand their electricity bills and estimate costs for budgeting purposes.

2. How Does the Calculator Work?

The calculator uses the formula:

Where:

• \( Cost \) — Total electricity cost (Pakistani Rupees)
• \( Units \) — Electricity consumed (kWh)
• \( Rate \) — Cost per unit (PKR/kWh)

Note: 1 Unit = 1 kWh in electricity billing

3. Understanding Electricity Units in Pakistan

Details: Pakistan uses a slab-based tariff system where rates vary based on consumption levels. This calculator uses a flat rate for simplicity.
