    Please could you tell me where you are all working out how much your bills will increase by. I’ve had an email telling me about the increases with bulb but it does not contain an estimate of what our bills may increase to. Is there an website or something for this? Thank you!

    If you give us your estimated annual consumption figures (they appear on your bill) we can work out the changes for you.

    Using the national average values:
    • Current price cap - £1730/yr, £144/month
    • April 22 cap - £2630/yr, £219/month.
    Yours won't be exactly that due to regional variations, but it's a good guide.

    Have bulb given you the new standing charge and unit price costs?

    If so, for electricity multiply the standing charge by 365 and the unit price by 4652.8 then add them together.

    Do the same with you gas standing charge, unit prices and gas consumption.
