Our fees
Termina has two fees, one for small business and one for large energy users. Both are set out here in numbers.
A share of what we save you, split 50/50. No saving, no fee. Our fee sits inside your rates rather than arriving as a separate bill.
Save $10,000 a year and the saving is split 50/50: you keep $5,000, and our $5,000 sits inside your rates. Save nothing and you pay nothing.
No fee to run the tender. Once you switch, 1% of your bill (capped at $80 a month) plus 10% of what we save you.
A site on a $20,000 monthly bill that saves $30,000 a year:
Bill fee: 1% is $200 a month, capped at $80, so $960 a year
Savings share: 10% of $30,000 is $3,000
Total fee: $3,960. You keep $26,040 of the $30,000.
The bill fee applies once you switch. Running the tender costs nothing.
No upfront fee and no subscription. Getting started and seeing your number costs nothing.
We tender the whole market and only move you when we can beat your current rate. No saving, no change.
Small business: a 50/50 share of the saving, inside your rates. Large energy users: 1% of the bill (capped at $80 a month) plus 10% of the saving, once you switch.
Every other player in this market makes more when you pay more. Brokers take a cut from the retailer, so they can't be on your side. We refuse retailer commissions and earn only a share of what we save you. The only way we make money is by saving you money.
We are not a better broker. We are a different model: paid only when we save you money.

Multi-year and bespoke contracts mean a saving can't always be promised up front. What we commit to is the best rate available in the market at the time we go out for you.
We compare across retailers and take no commissions, so the recommendation you get is yours, not theirs.
Bill-level, retailer-sourced data you can put in front of an auditor, with climate-related disclosures (XRB) reporting when you need it. One source of truth across every site, and it stays yours. We're an extension of your team
