Marginaali / energiamaksu (snt/kWh) kertoo kulutushinnan. Pörssisähkössä tämä on yhtiön marginaali, joka lisätään Nord Pool -spot-hinnan päälle. Määräaikaisessa hinta on lukittu sopimuskaudeksi.
Perusmaksu (€/kk) on kuukausittainen kiinteä maksu sopimuksesta, riippumatta kulutuksesta. Monet yhtiöt tarjoavat 1–8 kk perusmaksuttoman avausjakson uusille asiakkaille.
Estimated monthly cost lasketaan antamasi vuosikulutuksen perusteella. Pörssisähkölle käytetään 6,5 c/kWh oletusspottia (Nord Pool -pitkän aikavälin keskiarvo). Todellinen lasku vaihtelee markkinahinnan mukaan.
Comparing electricity prices in Finland pays off every year — market prices and providers' margins keep changing, and switching a single contract can save several hundred euros annually. Verrokit's comparison is based on three things: the energy fee (c/kWh), the monthly standing charge (€/month), and their sum as an estimated monthly cost calculated with your own consumption.
A fixed-price electricity contract locks the energy fee for the whole contract term (usually 12 or 24 months). You know every month what a kilowatt-hour costs and you're not exposed to Nord Pool price spikes. On the other hand, you don't benefit from hours when the market price is low.
Spot electricity means you pay the realised Nord Pool price for each hour plus the provider's margin (typically 0.3–1.0 c/kWh). Over the past five years the spot price has averaged about 6–7 c/kWh, but individual hours have exceeded 50 c/kWh (cold winter days without wind) or dropped to zero or negative levels (windy summer weekends). See the current spot price → and tomorrow's hourly prices →.
Rule of thumb for 2026: if you can tolerate hourly variation and shift big loads (EV charging, sauna, water heater) to cheaper hours, spot electricity typically produces the lowest bill on average. If you value predictability and peace of mind, a fixed price is the safer choice.
The lowest c/kWh does not always mean the lowest bill. The standing charge is a fixed monthly amount (typically 2–8 €/month) that on small consumption noticeably increases the effective per-kilowatt-hour price. Example: with 1,500 kWh annual consumption a 5 €/month standing charge = 60 €/year = 4 c/kWh added to the energy price. In a large detached house (18,000 kWh) the same standing charge equals only 0.33 c/kWh — negligible.
Verrokit's "Estimated monthly cost" column shows the total price for your consumption. Change the annual consumption in the left sidebar and the list re-sorts automatically.
Switching is always free. You can re-tender your electricity contract as often as you like, as long as you are not tied to an active fixed-term contract — cancelling one mid-term usually incurs a break fee.
Your electricity bill consists of two parts: energy (the provider you compare in Verrokit) and transfer (the local grid company, determined by where you live — see your local grid company →). You cannot choose the grid company because the grid is a local natural monopoly. You can, however, affect the transfer bill through your consumption profile: with spot electricity, heating the water heater and charging your EV during lower-tariff hours reduces the transfer cost if your grid company has a time-of-use tariff.
The prices in the Verrokit comparison apply throughout Finland — the same provider sells electricity nationwide at the same price. The transfer fee differs by city because the grid company is local. See the local grid company and price on the city-specific electricity contract pages, or browse all Finnish electricity providers on the providers page. If you want to understand how the price is formed hour by hour, the electricity production page shows the current mix and the weather and electricity price page shows how wind and temperature drive tomorrow's price.
