? Gas 12,808 kWh/yr Electricity 1,166 kWh/yr this is my annual use You will have a tariff with rates for gas and electricity, each with a price per kWh and a daily standing charge.- Your annual bill for gas will be 12808 x the kWh rate, plus 365 x the daily standing charge.
- For electricity, it will be 1166 x the kWh rate plus 365 x the daily standing charge
If you can't do the maths in your head, most smartphones have a calculator, as does Windows, or you can type the sums into Google and it will work it out for you.Hopefully this makes sense?N.

I wasn’t sure how you worked it out,
Thankyou though.0 -
ok now I am confused, my fixed tariff has updated from an annual amount of £1678.70 monthly amount £139.89, to an annual amount of £1611.64 monthly amount £134.30, but they both still have the same standing charges and unit rates. Am I missing something here?0

Are the annual usage figures still the same? These update when you have meter readings taken.
I want to go back to The Olden Days, when every single thing that I can think of was better.....
