Collective November 2026 switch
Hi,
my current British Gas tariff is fixed till 1 May 2026.
If I switch to the Collective November 2026 Cheap Energy Club tariff I will know close to exactly how much I will save till then, 1 May 2026.
I am wondering, how does the MSE Program calculate my savings from 1 May 2026 to end of November 2026? That is 7 months when MSE doesn't know how much electricity and gas will cost.
Thanks for your help.

Typically, the MSE calculator assumes that you'll come off the fix onto the current SVT.The 12-month forecast will be more accurate for you (as there's only seven months to extrapolate) rather than someone whose fix ends sooner (where there could be nine+ months).N.
