    You dont need software for that take a meter reading on a said day. Do same a week later subtract the lower reading for higher reading and you got how many units you have used

    or use http://www.imeasure.org.uk/

    It will tell you how much you have spent if you put in the tariff. The only thing it couldn't handle was when we had a new meter fitted, It insisted we'd used more than £14k in a week

    imeasure is ok so long as you don't mind the emails it sends you and it doesn't calculate costs very well.
    If you want to get a good idea of the actual cost, it's not that difficult to put your tariff details into a spreadsheet along with your readings and have that calculate it. I do that on a daily basis and my monthly costs are usually within a matter of pence to what I'm actually billed. They should be spot on if you calculate it after the bill has arrived and you aren't being billed on estimated usage.

    In imeasure you can add a new meter and mark the old one as inactive. it keeps all your history just fine.
