How to Verify Your Actual Rate
Don't just estimate - find out exactly what you're paying.
Ask Your Broker for Their Commission Rate
Contact your current broker and ask them to disclose their commission rate in writing. For contracts signed on or after 1 October 2024, your supplier must show the broker fee in the contract's principal terms and give it to you on request. If they refuse or give vague answers, that's a red flag - reputable brokers have nothing to hide.
Check Your Contract Paperwork
Commission disclosure in energy supplier contract documentation has been mandatory since October 2024. Look for terms like "TPI commission", "broker fee", or "uplift" in your paperwork. The amount should be stated in pence per kWh or as a total figure.
Compare to Current Market Rates
If your current unit rate is significantly higher than market rates (check Ofgem's wholesale data), the difference may include broker commission. For a like-for-like benchmark, see what a business your size should be paying, and what switching should save you.
