We take a real UK home's half-hourly smart meter data over the previous 90 days and model the bill on each tariff using the supplier's current published rates and standing charges. Standing charges scale with the modelled period; unit rates apply per half-hour using each tariff's rate structure (standard, Economy 7, time-of-use bands, or wholesale-tracking). Full methodology and data sources are linked below.
