Nepal Electricity Unit Rate (NEA Per Unit Price)
The electricity per unit price in Nepal depends on your monthly consumption slab and ampere rating. Current NEA residential unit rates:
| Monthly Units (kWh) | Rate Per Unit |
|---|---|
| First 20 units | Rs. 3 to Rs. 6 (by ampere: 5A Rs. 3, 15A Rs. 4, 30A Rs. 5, 60A Rs. 6) |

| 51 to 250 units | Rs. 9.50 per unit |
| Above 250 units | Rs. 11.00 per unit |
A monthly minimum charge also applies based on your ampere rating. Since July 17, 2026, households using up to 50 units pay no VAT; above 50 units, 5% VAT applies only to the consumption beyond 50 units. Use the calculator above to see the exact breakdown for your consumption.
What is the price of 1 unit of electricity in Nepal? For a typical 5 ampere home connection in 2083 BS (2026 AD), 1 unit costs Rs. 3 for the first 20 units and rises up to Rs. 11 per unit above 250 units, based on the current NEA tariff.
