Ofgem price cap note

Ofgem's April-June 2026 Direct Debit averages are 24.67p/kWh and 57.21p/day for electricity, and 5.74p/kWh and 29.09p/day for gas. Ofgem states these published figures include 5% VAT, so this calculator uses equivalent pre-VAT defaults when VAT is switched on. Your actual rates depend on your supplier, region, payment method, meter type, and tariff.

What does this mean?

This calculator is designed to help you understand the likely number before you make a decision or start an application.

Your result should be checked against official UK guidance, especially if your circumstances include dependants, exemptions, prior leave, or a complex immigration history.

Treat the figure as a planning tool rather than legal advice. Where the answer affects an application deadline or major payment, speak to an authorised adviser.
