Electricity Bill Calculator — Receipt Rate & Verified Tariff Schedules

There is no single Nigerian electricity rate. Start with the rate on your receipt, or choose one of the limited official schedules below only if its provider, territory, category and period apply. No rate is preselected. This estimates energy, VAT and any other cash charges you enter—not an official bill or proof of overcharging.

Before you rely on this

  • Verified schedules are dated September 2026 NERC and LASERC documents, not a live nationwide tariff feed. Lagos and Ogun are separate selections with separate orders, even where the listed prices match.
  • A receipt is evidence of what was charged, not proof that the charge complies with the correct order. Confirm provider, regulator, territory, class, band, billing date and tax basis.
  • Band hours are minimum service commitments, not guaranteed delivered power. Classification and remedies depend on the applicable regulatory process; do not self-reclassify or assume a refund.
  • This tool does not validate estimated-bill caps, debt recovery, meter financing, special supply agreements, lifeline eligibility or demand charges. Other charges are included only when you enter them.

How this is calculated: Official September 2026 orders: LASERC MKTR/011 (IE Energy Lagos) and MKTR/012 (Eko Power), Table 2 on PDF pages 2–3; NERC AEDC 088, Ikeja 093 and Eko 091, Table 3 on page 7. Scope and source links appear below. · Data as of 2026-09-28
Reviewed 28 September 2026. Separate Lagos and Ogun schedules are available for Ikeja and Eko. Confirm the provider, regulator, territory, billing date and class. Other unverified jurisdictions, lifeline and special agreements are not preset. Receipt entries are not a compliance certification.

Frequently asked questions

How much is one unit of electricity in Nigeria?
One unit is one kilowatt-hour. The applicable rate depends on provider, regulatory territory, customer category, band and date. There is no universal rate. Use your receipt or a matching official schedule.
Does the calculator cover Lagos or all eleven DisCos?
It covers the Lagos service areas of IE Energy Lagos Limited (Ikeja) and Eko Power Limited using separate LASERC September 2026 orders. It also covers the specified Ikeja/Eko Ogun areas and AEDC FCT/Nasarawa under NERC orders. It does not cover all eleven DisCos; other customers can use receipt mode.
Should VAT be added to my receipt rate?
Only when the entered rate excludes VAT. If it already includes VAT, check the inclusive option so the calculator extracts the VAT component rather than adding it again. Confirm the receipt breakdown.
Can I identify my band just from the rate?
No. Confirm your account category, feeder and band with the provider. Identical rates can occur in multiple categories, and rates alone do not establish hours of supply.
Does low supply automatically mean I am owed a refund?
No. Keep dated supply logs and receipts, raise a complaint with your provider, and use the applicable regulator’s complaint process if unresolved. Reclassification or compensation requires the relevant conditions and process; the calculator does not decide entitlement.
