That's 516 units which isnt same as kWh which is measure they use, that's for 4 months usage. For same period roughly I used 1324 units

If you are on a two tier price tariff for your gas then it will be about right.

npower charge most of the higher rate units (4572 per annum) over the winter months.

There will probably be around 3074kWh charged at the higher price and the remainder on your bill at the lower price.

I am guessing your total usage came to around 5750kWh for this period.

Single people don't use massively less energy than a couple, and it has been the coldest winter for thirty years. How well insulated is the property? Did you heat one room or the entire property? What tariff are you on - standard (expensive)? Have you checked whether NPower prices are competitive for your area?
