Comparing unit price/standing charge?

Use a spreadsheet.

That's what I do but sometimes finding the actual kwh prices on company websites is not easy - they seem to want you to focus on generalised 'average consumption' 'deals' which may not reflect your own personal usage, or else have a 'quote' using a black-box calculation.

Every supplier should have to publish their unit rates for a given supply postcode, on a page linked directly from their website homepage.

Norman,
The problem is that no site allows me to select my current tariff without first selecting direct debit, the prices i pay using prepayment (online top-up using account) differ from direct debit for some reason.

Cardew,
Yeh, this site inparticular lets me use my assumed current tariff or the one i'll be switched to when comparing, make quite a saving for both... but that's only because the prices for the assumed tariff are wrong.

KS - Ignore your existing tariff. What you need to know is what you will be charged by your new supplier - what your existing supplier will charge is irrelevant.

You can put in any valid tariff and what you get is a long list of forecast charges based on your for your known consumption

Robin,
I know that, i was just emphasizing how wrong my prices are when i use direct debit+correct tariff instead of prepayment+correct tariff (as prepayment does not show my tariff), which lead to incorrect calculations.
