Good Morning To work out my gas & electric bill, do I first work out the number of units used in a period and multiply them by a formula, and multiply the answer by the supplier's rate of charge? If so, does each supplier use the same 'formula'? And if so, can someone remind me what that 'formula' is? Thanks in advance
