We read your rates.

We extract only the numbers that matter: your energy retailer, tariff rates, daily supply charge, usage (kWh or MJ), billing period, and distribution zone. We deliberately skip your name, address, and account number.

Live government data comparison.

We fetch current plans directly from the government's energy plan registry, the same database retailers are legally required to publish to. Your usage is applied to the eligible plans in your network zone, so the savings figure reflects your actual bill, not a generic estimate.

Ranked result.

Plans are sorted by estimated annual cost based on your real usage. The best deal goes first, not the plan that pays us the biggest referral fee. Filter by solar, concession card, green energy, or business ABN. Switch directly from the result page, or take the plan details and go to the retailer yourself.

Methodology

Inside the calculation.

What happens between your bill landing and a saving figure coming back. Six steps that keep the comparison apples-to-apples and the ranking honest. (Privacy of the scan itself is covered above, this section is about the maths.)

Compare, normalise, rank

Applied on every comparison

✓ Live government data · No commission sort

① Rate normalisation

All tariffs → one annual figure

Flat, time-of-use (peak / shoulder / off-peak) and demand tariffs are projected to the same yearly cost basis so plans across different rate structures compare cleanly.

② Your usage applied

Real bill → real estimate

We take your billing-period kWh / MJ and annualise it across each plan's rate windows, not a generic “average household” figure that'd hide your real saving.

③ Network zone match

Pinned to your distributor

Plans are matched to your DNSP (Ausgrid, Powercor, Energex, etc.), not the whole state, so each rate shown is one the retailer can actually offer at your address.

④ Solar netted

Feed-in credit subtracted from cost

If your bill shows solar export, each plan's feed-in tariff is applied to your export volume and netted off the comparison total, so high-FiT plans are visibly cheaper.

⑤ Channel dedup

Best price per supplier

Retailers often publish 5–10 near-duplicate variants of the same plan (controlled-load tiers, billing channels). We collapse these and show only the cheapest version per supplier.

⑥ Plan freshness

⚠ 90d flagged · ✕ 180d dropped

Plans not refreshed in 90 days are shown with a stale marker. Past 180 days they're excluded entirely. Most retailers update weekly via the government's energy plan registry.

Conditional plans (solar bundle requirements, intro periods that reset) are flagged on the result with a visible warning. Estimates assume your usage stays the same, always verify the final rate on the retailer's Energy Price Fact Sheet before switching.
