£25.50 + 5% VAT (£1.28) = £26.78

Enter standing charges excluding VAT. This calculator adds VAT at 5%. If the standing charge shown on your tariff already includes VAT, do not use that VAT-inclusive figure here or VAT would be added twice. The calculator covers standing charges only and does not include the cost of energy consumed.

A standing charge is a fixed daily amount that you may pay for your electricity or gas supply.

Unlike the unit rate, the standing charge does not depend on how much energy you use.

Therefore, even if you use very little energy, standing charges can still make up a noticeable part of your bill.

This calculator helps you work out your weekly, monthly and yearly standing charge costs.
