If you pay monthly, then the best place to start is entering how much you pay for your electricity and gas, this information should be on your bill. 


If you do not have a bill to hand, but you do know how much pay in total to your utility, then just split that value in half, and use that for each fuel.  

You can always adjust it later. 


The UK average for 1-2 bedroom house/flat is £33 per month for electricity, and £34 for gas.


For a daily budget this is approximately:

  • £1.10 for electricity
  • £1.13 for gas


For a weekly budget this is approximately:

  • £7.70 for electricity
  • £7.91 for gas


If your house is bigger, you will need to increase your budget.
