Compare Feed In Tariffs In Your Postcode

How do we do calculate cost estimates?

To help you compare electricity and gas plans easily Mozo estimates the cost of each electricity and gas plan in its database. To complete these cost estimates Mozo has made the following assumptions:

• All cost estimates, unless altered by you, are annual estimates, inclusive of any applicable GST.
• Estimated costs displayed in the search results take into account the first 12 months usage, but don’t take into account termination fees if you are liable to pay a termination fee to change energy providers.
• To calculate estimated costs we use average electricity usage benchmarks published by the Australian Energy Regulator, which take into account your postcode, the number of people in your household and seasonal variations. If your usage differs from these usage assumptions then so too will the estimated cost savings.
• We’ve not found any published data on average gas usage, so we’ve come up with our own assumptions based on figures from the ABS and various industry reports. But that’s just a rough starting point; gas usage can vary significantly between households so we recommend that you enter your bill details to get a better result.
• Our calculations may include discounts for paying on time, using direct debit or other payment behaviours - but you can switch these off by making different selections. Our calculations will always include ‘guaranteed’ discounts. Please note that energy retailers may limit discounts to the first year or two.
• Our calculations may also include the additional cost of the Greenpower scheme if you ask for ‘green’ energy. Where we factor in Greenpower costs we will use the lowest Greenpower level provided by each plan.
• We do not include pensioner concessions, special offers or non cash benefits in our cost estimates and if available to you may be an additional benefit.
• At present, all of our cost estimates are based on single rate tariffs (also known as ‘peak only’ or ‘anytime’ tariffs).
• Our comparison engine uses a postcode to identify your distribution area and in some circumstances this may not be enough to correctly identify your specific distribution area. You should verify with energy providers your particular situation and the plans and prices available to you before signing up to an energy plan.
• If you have solar panels installed then cost estimates do not take into account reduced usage levels or feed-in-tariff rebates, unless you have entered these details from your bill.
• We take all reasonable care when collecting, updating and displaying product information and estimated costs on the site, but we cannot guarantee its accuracy. All product information and pricing should be confirmed with the energy provider before you sign up to an energy plan.
• Energy provider pricing is subject to change which could impact potential cost estimates.
