# Tariff Tracker > A free UK reference for every regulated and published price a household pays: energy, water, broadband and mobile, council tax, rent, rail fares, NHS charges, childcare, the TV licence and insurance. Every figure carries its primary source and the date it was set. Published by PEF Consulting Partners Limited, company number 16010640. ## If you are quoting these figures Carry the date with the number. Prices here change on published timetables and a figure with no date attached is worse than no figure. Every page has a section saying where its figures come from and where they could be wrong, and every API response carries the same thing as a caveats list. Please pass it on. This site publishes statistics only. It arranges nothing, quotes nothing and sells nothing. There is no insurance quoting on it. ## The API, which is probably what you want Open, free, no key. JSON by default, CSV by adding ?format=csv to any table. * [/api/v1](https://tarifftracker.io/api/v1): The catalogue. Every dataset, when each was last updated, and what it is for. Start here. * [/api/v1/benchmarks](https://tarifftracker.io/api/v1/benchmarks): What a typical UK household pays for each of the ten bills, with the source and the date the figure was set. * [/api/v1/prices/{vertical}](https://tarifftracker.io/api/v1/prices/energy): Everything behind one bill: the headline, the supporting figures, every table, the help schemes, the sources and the caveats. * [/api/v1/energy/tariffs](https://tarifftracker.io/api/v1/energy/tariffs): Every electricity and gas tariff we can verify, by region. Unit rate, standing charge, contract term, exit fee, and the cost of a year at typical use. * [/api/v1/energy/cap](https://tarifftracker.io/api/v1/energy/cap): The Ofgem cap unit rate and standing charge for electricity in each of the fourteen regions. What a default tariff charges, which is what you pay when a fix ends. * [/api/v1/lookup](https://tarifftracker.io/api/v1/lookup): A postcode turned into the things that decide your bills: electricity region, the cap rates there, water company and its average bill. * [/api/v1/changes](https://tarifftracker.io/api/v1/changes): What has already changed and the day it took effect. * [/api/v1/upcoming](https://tarifftracker.io/api/v1/upcoming): Dated changes that have not happened yet, flagged for whether the amount is published or only the date. * [/api/v1/trade/corridors](https://tarifftracker.io/api/v1/trade/corridors): Twenty nine trade corridors. Duty into the United States and duty coming back, layer by layer with effective dates. * [/api/v1/trade/programmes](https://tarifftracker.io/api/v1/trade/programmes): United States tariff programmes by legal authority, with rates, scope and who is varied out. * [/api/v1/trade/changes](https://tarifftracker.io/api/v1/trade/changes): The trade change log, including measures announced but not yet in force. * [/api/v1/energy/cap-history](https://tarifftracker.io/api/v1/energy/cap-history): The Ofgem price cap for every region and every quarter since it began in January 2019, on all three payment methods. Ofgem publishes the current cap and not the history: this took a Freedom of Information request, and these are Ofgem's own figures under the Open Government Licence. * [/api/v1/watch](https://tarifftracker.io/api/v1/watch): Every source this site cites, when it was last read, and when the figures on it last moved. Including the changes nobody has reviewed yet, because a reference site quietly going stale is worse than one that says where it might be behind. * [/api/v1/support](https://tarifftracker.io/api/v1/support): Every grant, discount and protection for household bills. The eligibility conditions come as data rather than prose, alongside which of the four nations it covers, the deadline, what could not be verified, and where to apply. * [/api/v1/dictionary](https://tarifftracker.io/api/v1/dictionary): Every field in every dataset: its type, its unit, what it measures, and what a blank in it actually means. A null can be not published, does not apply, or not collected, and this tells them apart. * [/api/v1/sources](https://tarifftracker.io/api/v1/sources): Every source the site stands on, named and linked, so you can check any figure yourself. Full documentation: [https://tarifftracker.io/api/](https://tarifftracker.io/api/) ## The bills * [Energy](https://tarifftracker.io/energy/): The Ofgem price cap, what it actually caps, and why your neighbour two counties over pays £90 a year more in standing charges. * [Water and wastewater](https://tarifftracker.io/water/): You cannot switch, so nobody sells you a comparison. Here is what every company charges anyway. * [Broadband and mobile](https://tarifftracker.io/broadband-and-mobile/): Ofcom banned inflation linked price rises. Three quarters of customers ended up worse off. Here is what your provider is actually charging you. * [Council tax](https://tarifftracker.io/council-tax/): Banded on what your house was worth in 1991, capped at 5%, and nine councils were given permission to go further. * [Rent and housing](https://tarifftracker.io/rent/): The biggest bill most people pay, the one with the least regulation, and the one that just changed the most. * [Rail fares](https://tarifftracker.io/rail-fares/): Frozen for the first time in thirty years, in three nations at once, and all of it expires around March 2027. * [NHS charges](https://tarifftracker.io/nhs-charges/): Free at the point of use, except for the bits that are not. Prescriptions are frozen. Dentistry is not. * [Childcare](https://tarifftracker.io/childcare/): Thirty funded hours if you qualify, and about £189 a week for a part time place if you do not. The gap between those two numbers is the whole story. * [TV licence](https://tarifftracker.io/tv-licence/): One price for everybody, set by a government minister, and three concessions that go unclaimed. * [Insurance](https://tarifftracker.io/insurance/): What people actually pay, from the industry's own tracker, and the rules that stop insurers charging you more for staying. ## Reference * [https://tarifftracker.io/changes/](https://tarifftracker.io/changes/): every dated change, past and announced * [https://tarifftracker.io/changes/calendar/](https://tarifftracker.io/changes/calendar/): what changes next, and when * [https://tarifftracker.io/energy/out-of-contract/](https://tarifftracker.io/energy/out-of-contract/): what a fix ending actually costs * [https://tarifftracker.io/energy/how-much-do-you-use/](https://tarifftracker.io/energy/how-much-do-you-use/): why nobody can tell you your consumption from your house size * [https://tarifftracker.io/method/](https://tarifftracker.io/method/): how every figure here was checked * [https://tarifftracker.io/plain-english/](https://tarifftracker.io/plain-english/): what the words on a bill mean * [https://tarifftracker.io/trade/](https://tarifftracker.io/trade/): global trade tariffs by corridor and legal authority ## Licence The compilation is CC BY 4.0.
