Can someone explain to me why the web page tells me I'll be paying less at the end of my fixed deal? The current figues look correct, but I can't see how I'll pay less at the end of this fix.

    What is your region?  Is it showing the current flexible price on the right - this will be increased from tomorrow.

    Your current fix is more expensive than Octopus's current SVT variable otariff.
    If you'd left your fix at the start of January, you'd have paid slightly less for the last three months.
    As stated above, Octopus's SVT will be increasing tomorrow so that comparison might change overnight.
