How much do you spend on elec a day?

50p standing charge and 56p in units. (1.75kwh)

I hate when people post low usage like this without any information!

2-bed house with low usage currently averaging 4kWh per day.
As a comparison, high use 3 bedroom house is currently averaging 12kWh (£3). Less use of the tumble dryer in this warm weather is a help!

4 bed detached house with 4kwp solar panels generating 20kwh a day average at this time of the year.
got my yearly electricity usage to 900 kwh a year by using what i generate and using low power items sequentially such as 600w kettle and 1400w air fryer.

average use 2 May to 2 June is £2 per day for electricity.  another £1.50 for the same period for gas.  3 bedroom bungalow.

but this is meaningless as it says nothing about how much we use.  it also doesn't take into account how much of the time we spend at home compared to others, whether we have or haven't got a EV, the number of people living here etc etc.

Approx £2.20 - £3.50, 4.5 - 8.5kWh 
4 bed detached bungalow, 2 retired, at home all day. Depends mainly on usage of dishwasher, washing machine & small oven cooking

We have solar, but considering self use + import as the most representative figure for comparison, in May we consumed on average 6.65kWh of electricity a day. We might have been a bit more careful with energy use if we'd not been generating our own, but that's hard to quantify.

At SVT prices that would be £2.64 a day.

It didn't cost us that, because our 3.6kWp solar setup accounted for a little over half of that 6.65. Our actual import costs were around £1.53 a day (actually a couple pence higher than SVT because we're on Flux that charges more in the evening peak)

At the same time, Flux Export paid us £2.38 a day on average, so its negative at this time of year.

January it was 8.2kWh/day consumed (£3.29 equivalent), with 6.46kWh/day coming from the grid and another 4kWh going out, which worked out to about £2 a day

Before we got the solar or started taking our usage seriously we averaged about 10kWh/day all year round.

Your figure doesn't seem unreasonable if you're cooking and doing laundry for a family.

On average 2.5-3 kWh a day so with Agile it’s currently working out around £1 or thereabouts a day depending on loading. That includes 48p standing charge. 

3bedroom cottage in Yorkshire.  Only me living in it.

Average 33p a day for week and 22p for 28 days with solar 5.2 kW and 11.6 kW battery

Rheumatoid

4 bed detached with 4kW panels and 9.6kWh batteries. 43p day rate, 15p night. Batteries charging off E7 during low generation periods.

Pretty much nothing imported April to October bar 41p standing charge.

In the last 12 months to date = 580kWh Day, 783 night.

So averaging around £1 a day plus the 41p.

Feed in / generation income around £1100 p.a

My usage is about £1.23 per day in kWh but increases to £1.78 with the SC.

MuckChucker

Averages to about 7-8kwh I would say

A good day (generally when its just me wfh for most of the day) is about 4-5kwh
Days with lots of washing, cooking etc goes to about 15ish

So yeah we'll do about 250kwh per month from April to Oct

4 bed semi, Essex, 2a + 2k, gas heating and water, no solar
