Energy club calculation error?

currently on an Outfox the market tariff, looks like another Outfox tariff would be the best fit for me, however whilst I'm not great at maths, something definitely looks wrong with the projected saving of a new tariff (both higher standing charge and unit cost for electricity) vs. my current tariff. Any thoughts on how to contact admin?

    The Energy Club savings calculator knows when your fix will end (more or less). It knows it won't continue for another 12 months so is always assumes that, if you don't switch tariff, you'll move onto the standard variable tariff (SVT) at the end of your fix.

    The saving is when compared to whatever remains on your fix then followed by the SVT.

    Do you have 'compare against' set to 'when your deal ends' or 'your current deal'?
