Energy Costs per Unit?
Are there any plans in the pipeline where we can add our own energy unit costs? For example, my electricity cost per unit is 15.225 per kWh which is quite a bit more than your 12p kWh estimate. Same senario with gas...

Inappropriate?I too would welcome this as the cost factor is an important feature for people trying to reduce their bills. Carbon footprint reduction is all well and good but ask anyone on the doors and 99.9% of people will say cost is the driving factor.
As for electricity prices I'm on Ebico www.ebico.co.uk and I pay a flat rate of 10.86p + vat (11.41p ) per unit. Have a look at their site and put in your consumtion figures and see how much you could save.
I’m sad

Inappropriate?Hi All,
In the new version of imeasure (to hopefully be ready within the next month) we will be enabling users to specify their own kWh tariff rate for gas and electricity. However, imeasure we still only be giving you an approximation (although a little more accurate), as it is tricky for us to programme in detail the tariff structure you are on (e.g. the first X kWh of the month are at one rate & then the Y kWh above X are at another rate).
Thanks, Catherine1 Comment

If it's complicated to get the imeasure user to type in the multiple tariff levels not to mention the billing frequency, I would have thought it reasonable to use the rate of the "last" tariff level ("the Y kWh above X", to use your example). After all this is the rate which controls your increase or decrease in costs if your consumption goes up or down. If a consumer really wanted to know the actual cost, they would have to add another amount of money which is constant for them (until their price goes up). - Julian -
Inappropriate?In case it helps anyone this excel spreadsheet formula works for two tariff calculations.
=IF(SUM(A2:D2)<501,SUM(A2:D2)*0.25,(500*0.25)+((SUM(A2:D2)-500)*0.1))
Where you see A2:D2 that is the columns you have your data in for eg Jan in A2 Feb in B2 March in C2 etc. Where you see 501 or 500 that is the first amount of units at a given ( often higher price) Where you see ( in this example 0.25 )that is the tariff price I.E. 25p . In this example where you see the 0.1 it is the lower price in this eg 10p per unit.
What you need to do is alter the figures to suit your tariff. If you electric is first tariff of 23.546 p up to 800 units you would substitute the 501 for 801 and the 0.25 for 0.23546 etc etc.
Hope that helps people
