We present the current status of the theoretical high precision calculations of both small and large angle Bhabha scattering at high energies for realistic experimental set-ups. We report on the recent improvements in the precision of these calculations at both LEP1/SLC energies and at LEP2 energies. The best achieved precision in the theoretical calculations of the small angle Bhabha cross section for the luminosity is 0.11% and the large angle Bhabha cross section is 0.3%.
