New energy calculator?

Is there an updated calculator based on the April price rise? 

This one is based on October's increase

We'll have to ask the creator, @jimjames , and see what he says.

I'll have a look. MSE blocked me from providing it so I've not really bothered to do any more with it recently.

That's a bit unsporting of them!

Don't blame you

Interested in your thoughts, would you want to select the Price Cap period so you could view current as well as April onwards? Originally was trying to make it as simple as possible with few inputs but I can see there could be advantages in being able to compare before and after numbers.

While I'm a strong believer in "if it ain't broke, don't fix it" I can also see benefits in being able to compare the current price cap to the future one.

I found it really useful, and a great tool. There's a lot of confusion about what the price cap means for people, but a way for people to input their yearly estimated use or their own yearly meter reading, so they get their own unique calculation, as many might think the cap covers their useage, and are in for a nasty shock if they don't calculate their actual useage. Hope that makes sense.

I'm looking to work out my usage for the 6 months after the price cap but as I cannot find any concrete numbers for my region, Yorkshire, I will have to put it off until my supplier gives me the new figures sometime in March
