How to correctly set up my tariffs in the app.

Enter your electricity tariffs in the Smappee app, so cost calculations and smart charging are based on what you really pay.

Setting up your tariffs only takes a few minutes. Smappee uses them for:

Smart charging with Schedules: your car charges at the cheapest moments. See How does smart charging - schedules work?
Cost calculations: the cost of your household consumption, your always-on consumption and your solar production savings.
Estimated costs of appliances.

Note: As long as you have not set up your tariffs, the app uses a default rate of €0.22/kWh. Your costs are then only a rough estimate.

Start the setup

Open the Smappee app, go to Settings and tap Tariffs.
Under Electricity, tap Set up your tariffs.
Choose the type of tariff on your utility bill:
Static tariffs: fixed rates, for example peak and off-peak.
Dynamic tariffs: rates that follow the power exchange market.

You first create your rates (for example Peak and Off-peak), then you set when each rate applies.

Tap Manage your rates. You see the Default rate. Tap it to change it, or tap + to add a rate.
For each rate, enter a Name, a Colour, and the cost for Grid import and Grid export in €/kWh. Tap Add rate.
Go back to the Electricity tariff chart and tap Add a tariff.
Choose the Rate, the days it applies on, and the time range (or All day). Tap Add tariff.
Repeat for every rate on your utility bill. Use the chart to check that every hour of every day has the right rate.
Tap Done.

Select your Market: the power exchange market your electricity provider bases your dynamic rates on. Markets are sorted by country.
Under Fixed rate and multipliers, fill in the extra costs from your contract, for Import and Export (see the table below). Leave a field blank if it does not apply. Tap Next.
Check the summary and tap Save.

Formula: total price = (market price × multiplier + additive) × volume × tax multiplier

Field	What it means
Multiplier	An extra multiplier for the margin or other costs your energy supplier adds to the market price.
Additive	A fixed cost per kWh (in €/kWh) that is added to the market price.
Tax multiplier	The tax on top of the price, in %. For example 21% VAT.

Once your tariffs are set up, Smappee calculates your costs with these formulas:

Cost	Formula
Household consumption cost	Consumption × import tariff
Always-on cost	Always-on consumption × import tariff
Solar production savings	((Production − Export) × import tariff) + (Export × export tariff)
Appliance costs	Based on the events received for that appliance. These are estimates, not exact calculations.
