Free Energy Tools and Calculators
Free, practical tools to help you understand energy bills, compare home-energy options and deal with your supplier. Choose a category below or start with the Energy Bill Calculator.
If you are looking for help paying for energy, the consumer scheme register records what each government and supplier scheme is, what it is worth and where to apply. It does not decide whether you qualify — the published criteria and the official application are both linked from each entry, and the decision is theirs rather than ours.

Frequently asked questions
Are these energy tools free to use?
Yes. Every tool on this page is free to use and does not require an account.
How accurate are the calculator results?
Results are estimates based on the figures you enter and the stated assumptions. Use rates and usage from a recent bill where possible, and treat property, solar and heating results as a starting point rather than a quote.
Which energy calculator should I use first?
Use the Energy Bill Calculator for an overall cost estimate. For solar, start with the Quick Solar Estimate, then use the Solar Roof Calculator if you want an address-specific assessment.
Do the tools store my personal information?
Most calculations run in your browser. Tools that need an address, postcode or live forecast send only the information needed to provide that result. Each tool explains its data use where you enter those details.
