Tariff overview

Standard Variable Tariff is a standard variable tariff from British Gas. It was released on 30 September 2026. Unlike a fixed deal, the rates on this type of tariff can change over time, so it is usually worth checking it regularly if you want to keep an eye on value. If you are currently on this tariff, the key things to review are your latest rates, your monthly payment, and whether a better option may now be available.
