Each graph shows the costs of that graph in the top right corner. This cost overview is calculated as accurately as possible, but may not represent the actual total costs on your yearly energy bill. The calculation is to be used as an indication of your costs. Entering the correct tariffs will improve the accuracy of the cost overview in the app.

Other costs for dynamic pricing
What are other costs?
Your energy supplier must pay these costs on top of the basic market price for purchasing and selling. These include imbalance costs, national transport, access to market prices and CO2 compensations. This is a fixed amount per kWh or M3 of 2 cents on average that is slightly different for each supplier.
How is a dynamic price structured?
The dynamic costs consist of a total of the current basic hourly rate + other costs + taxes. As an example: if the basic hourly rate is €0.33 and you have an additional cost of €0.05 per kWh and 21% VAT, that is (0.33 + 0.05) *1.21 = 0.46 for a kWh of electricity.
How do I know the other costs?
You can calculate the other costs yourself that you can enter in the Energy app, you need:
The kWh sales price of this hour including taxes from your energy supplier's app.
The VAT percentage you pay on electricity
The basic kWh price of this hour (you can find this in the Energy app when entering rates)
We recommend calculating with at least 3 decimal places to avoid rounding differences.
Suppose you have a sales price of €0.134 (from the supplier app), a VAT of 21% and a basic kWh hourly price of €0.090, that is (0.134 ÷ 1.21) - 0.090 = 0.0207 of other costs.
Important notes
Base costs of your utilities (such as additional taxes, service costs or discounts) are not included.
The app does not support alternate tariffs based on certain conditions (such as when you deliver more to the grid than you use on a yearly basis)
