Key answer
Start with the information on your quote

Choose a tool
The annual cost calculator combines consumption, unit rate and standing charge. The quote comparison tool applies one consumption figure to two offers and shows the estimated difference.
Neither tool assumes an omitted fee is zero. Add known annual costs and keep a note of variable or unknown elements before making a decision.
- Annual cost calculator: check one tariff.
- Quote comparison: compare two electricity or gas offers.
