Compare fixed tariffs with no exit fees (home energy)
If you want price certainty but don’t want to be locked in, a fixed energy deal with no exit fee can be a practical middle ground. You typically get a fixed unit rate for a set term (for example 12 months), and you can usually leave early without an early termination charge.
EnergyPlus compares whole-of-market home energy tariffs, then highlights which fixed deals state £0 exit fees (or no early exit charges) in the tariff details. You’ll still want to check each tariff’s terms—some may have other conditions (for example, restrictions around moving home or payment method).
Tip: “Cheapest” usually depends on your region, usage, meter type (credit, smart, prepayment) and whether you want dual fuel. Use the form to get tailored results based on your postcode and estimated usage.

Why choose a no exit fee fixed energy deal?
Flexibility if prices drop
If better fixed tariffs appear, no exit fees can make it easier to switch again—useful in a fast-moving market.
Budget certainty without the lock-in
Fixed unit rates can help stabilise bills, while a £0 early exit charge reduces the risk of choosing the “wrong” term.
Moving home is simpler
If you move, you may prefer a tariff that won’t charge you to leave early. Always check how the supplier treats home moves.
Less penalty anxiety
Many fixed tariffs charge per fuel if you exit early. Removing that cost can make it easier to act when your circumstances change.
Clearer comparisons
When exit fees are £0, you can focus on what matters most: unit rate, standing charge, and the term length.
Still “fixed” where it counts
“No exit fee” doesn’t mean variable—many tariffs still fix the unit rate for the term, helping protect against price rises.
How to find the cheapest no exit fee fixed deal in your area
There isn’t one single “cheapest fixed tariff in the UK” for everyone. Energy pricing is regional and depends on how much energy you use. Use this approach to find the lowest-cost option for your household.
- Start with your postcode to pull the correct regional price cap and network costs (these vary across Great Britain).
- Enter realistic usage (kWh) if you know it from your bill. If you’re unsure, use your current annual total as a baseline.
- Filter for “fixed” and “no exit fees” to reduce lock-in risk, then compare term lengths (12 vs 24 months, etc.).
- Compare unit rate + standing charge together. A low unit rate can be offset by a high standing charge (and vice versa).
- Check tariff details for conditions: payment method, meter type compatibility, and whether any discounts are time-limited.
Avoid a common mistake
Don’t choose purely by monthly Direct Debit. Monthly payments can be smoothed and may not reflect the true unit rate and standing charge. For “cheapest”, focus on estimated annual cost and the tariff’s price structure.
Unit rates, standing charges & exit fees: what to check
Energy tariffs can look similar until you break down the costs. This quick reference helps you compare fixed deals that advertise no exit fees.
What does “no exit fee” actually mean?
Usually: £0 early exit charge
The tariff terms state an exit fee of £0 if you switch away before the end date. That’s different from your supplier’s normal final bill, which you still pay based on usage.
Not the same as “no contract”
A fixed deal still has a term. “No exit fee” simply removes a specific penalty for leaving early. The tariff can still have rules about eligibility, billing, and meter types.
Eligibility & what we need to show accurate prices
You can usually compare if you’re…
- Switching for a UK home (not business premises)
- On a credit meter, smart meter, or prepayment meter (tariff availability varies)
- Paying by Monthly Direct Debit or another supported method
- Unsure of your current tariff (we can still estimate based on your usage)
To improve “cheapest” accuracy
- Your postcode (regional pricing)
- Your fuel type (gas, electricity, or dual fuel)
- Your payment method (some tariffs are DD-only)
- Your usage if available (from a recent bill or online account)
If you’re on an Economy 7 / two-rate electricity meter, or you have a complex setup, we’ll still show options where possible—just expect fewer tariffs to be available.
When a no exit fee fixed deal may not be the best value
A £0 exit fee is helpful, but it shouldn’t be the only deciding factor. Depending on your circumstances, another option may be cheaper overall.
If the unit rate is higher
Some no-exit-fee fixed tariffs can be priced slightly higher. If you’re confident you’ll stay put for the full term, a tariff with an exit fee may be cheaper.
If you have very low usage
Standing charges can dominate your bill. The best choice may be a tariff with a lower standing charge even if the unit rate is marginally higher.
If tariff features matter
App-based billing, customer service preferences, green electricity options, and meter compatibility can influence value beyond “cheapest”.
FAQs: cheapest no exit fee fixed energy deals
Do fixed energy deals always have exit fees?
No. Many fixed tariffs include an early exit fee, but some suppliers offer fixed deals with £0 exit fees. The most reliable way to confirm is to check the tariff information and terms before applying.
Can I switch a fixed tariff before it ends?
Usually yes. Whether you pay a charge depends on the tariff. With a no exit fee fixed deal, the early termination charge should be £0, but you’ll still receive a final bill for energy used up to your switch date.
What counts as “cheapest” when comparing?
For most households, “cheapest” means the lowest estimated annual cost based on your usage, including standing charges and unit rates. Monthly Direct Debit amounts can be smoothed and aren’t always a like-for-like comparison.
Are no exit fee fixed deals available across the whole UK?
Availability varies by region, supplier and meter type. If you enter your postcode in the comparison form, you’ll see tariffs that are available for your home address and preferences.
Will I need to contact my current supplier to switch?
In most cases, no. When you apply for a new tariff, the new supplier typically manages the switch. Keep a note of your opening/closing meter readings where requested and always check the confirmation details.
Does “no exit fee” mean there are no other fees?
It usually refers specifically to the early termination charge for leaving the fixed tariff before the end date. Other normal costs (your energy usage, standing charges, and any agreed payment arrangements) still apply.
