UPPCL FPPAS Calculator: From June 2026, electricity bills across Uttar Pradesh carry a new line item — FPPAS (Fuel and Power Purchase Adjustment Surcharge). Many consumers are confused about why this extra 10% charge is being added and how much it actually affects their total bill amount. In this article, we’ll explain what this surcharge is, how it’s calculated, and how you can use the calculator below to work out your own numbers.
What exactly is the FPPAS Surcharge?
In simple terms, this surcharge is collected by the electricity department to cover fluctuations in the cost of coal and other fuels used to generate power. From June 2026, UPPCL has applied this at 10% of your total bill amount — meaning your base bill amount (Energy Charges + Fixed Charges) now has an additional 10% added directly on top.
Since this is a new charge, most consumers are finding it difficult to figure out exactly how much this 10% adds up to in rupees, and how much their total payable amount will increase. To clear up this confusion, we’ve built this FPPAS Calculator.

Key Points About the FPPAS Surcharge
This surcharge appears as a separate line item on your bill every month, so make sure to check for it.
The 10% rate is not fixed — UPERC (Uttar Pradesh Electricity Regulatory Commission) can revise it from time to time based on fuel costs, so it may increase or decrease in the future.
If your bill amount suddenly looks much higher than expected, the reason might not only be FPPAS — outstanding dues, late fees, or an increase in your unit consumption could also be contributing factors. Always check your full bill carefully.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
What does the FPPAS surcharge apply to?
The FPPAS surcharge applies to the base amount of your bill, i.e., the total of Energy Charges and Fixed Charges — not just the per-unit rate.
Is the FPPAS rate the same for all consumers?
Yes, currently the 10% rate effective from June 2026 applies uniformly to all consumer categories (domestic, commercial, etc.). However, this may change in the future based on UPERC orders.
What should I do if I think the surcharge has been calculated incorrectly?
First, compare the calculation on your bill with this calculator. If you still notice a difference, you can call UPPCL’s 1912 helpline or visit your nearest electricity office to file a complaint.
Does this calculator show my final bill amount?
No, this calculator only gives an estimate of the FPPAS surcharge. Your final bill may also include meter rent, outstanding dues, subsidies, or other charges, so always refer to your original electricity bill for exact figures.
Paying your bill on time is always beneficial, as delays can result in late fees in addition to this FPPAS surcharge. Keep your billing cycle date in mind, and make sure to check the FPPAS line item as soon as your bill arrives.
