Meralco Bill Calculator (September 2026 rates)
Enter your monthly kWh to estimate your Meralco electricity bill with this month's rate. Updated every month when Meralco announces new rates.
Meralco estimate uses the September 2026 residential rate (₱14.7424/kWh for a typical 200 kWh household) and the distribution charge brackets (1–200, 201–300, 301–400, over 400 kWh). Lifeline discounts for low-income households and local franchise taxes are not included. Your actual bill may differ by about ±1–2%.
Meralco rate for September 2026
| Item | Value |
|---|---|
| Overall rate, typical 200 kWh household | ₱14.7424 per kWh |

Distribution charge by monthly consumption
| Monthly kWh | Distribution charge |
|---|---|
| 1–200 | ₱0.9803/kWh |
| 201–300 | ₱1.2908/kWh |
| 301–400 | ₱1.5837/kWh |
| Over 400 | ₱2.0941/kWh |
The bracket applies to your whole consumption, so going from 200 kWh to 201 kWh raises the rate on every kWh. Keeping usage just under a bracket line can lower your bill.
