    I was not answered clearly. Do I add 10% to my current annual prediction., with my supplier. That's all I'm asking.
    Thanks

    Sorry - the formatting of my cut and paste was awful.  Here is what the site says:




    If I stay on the price cap it is predicting a 2% rise in October whereas the whole thrust of the article talks about a predicted 9% rise in October.  Also,  When I dig into the details of the actual tarrif it is a little different to Moneysupermarkets own site and also Outfox the markets own site (I just switched to their 1 year fix).
    But that's a different thing from the Should I Fix Calculator the op was on about, which I already pointed out is working with out of date data. The Cheap Energy Club thing I've never been able to get to work tbh.

    The rise in October is 10% btw. 9% is the average for the next 12 months.
    Ahhh   OK - Sorry for the confusion.  The MSE maze for this is quite difficult to follow and understand for the average "jo" and I don't really get why this calculator is out of date (as you say) and also the Cheap energy club website is so wrong.  It all will lead to massive confusion for many. The two should be aligned and up-to-date else they should be pulled until they are really.  you read a headline and then login to various tools to try and do the analysis and you get conflicting and incorrect (out of date) information. That is not helpful - BUT and its a big BUT.......   I was give the heads-up about the 9% (10%) predicted rise in october and the general thrust of the information helped me to make an informed descision to fix now for 12 months - its not all useless by a long chalk but it needs a bit of finessing I think. 

    Bottom line.  I will (hopefully) save some hard earned money thanks to MSE making me take a look and that is the main thing. 

    Thanks

    Indeed. I made my own decision to fix a few weeks ago based on the info from this site. It seemed like a good move at the time, and now even more so.
  • Even if I am paying a few pence more for gas and elec  on the fix at the moment.
    Thanks
