Cost analysis
Cost analysis shows, in plain terms, what your electricity use cost and what the same use would have cost with a fixed-price reference.
1
Start with one question
This page answers one practical question: was your real usage cheaper than a comparison price during the same time range?
- You see real cost and comparison cost side by side
- Savings are shown in euros and percent
- Devices appear separately if they have energy metering
- You can export the data as CSV if you want to inspect it elsewhere
2
Choose the time range first
Start by selecting a start and end time. Then decide whether you want to include all measured devices or only specific ones.
- Select Start and End with date and time
- If you do not choose devices, the analysis uses all metering devices by default
- If you want to inspect one load only, filter to that device
- If the end time is before the start time, the app asks you to correct it

Check whether you are viewing actual data or a forecast
In most cases, start with measured data. Forecast view is mainly useful when you want to estimate an upcoming or alternative period.
- Measured is based on real consumption and real prices
- Predicted estimates a future or alternative period when data is available
- If you want to understand a past bill, measured mode is usually the right choice

Verify pricing before drawing conclusions
If VAT, monthly fees or surcharges are wrong, the savings view will also look wrong. It is worth checking pricing settings before trusting the numbers.
- Cost analysis uses your saved pricing and VAT settings
- Check especially the fixed comparison price, VAT and monthly fees
- If the numbers look odd, open Pricing & VAT first
