### Commission with a minimum or a maximum

A percentage of the proceeds, with a minimum or a maximum in euros per year. The commission is that percentage, but not below a published minimum and not above a published maximum.

    15% (min € 34.99, max € 79.99 a year)

A minimum or maximum on the commission is included. Other costs from the terms, without a fixed amount in that calculation, are not included. Where the rate is not published, there is no net amount.

Hidden fees

## Costs that appear only in the terms

The trust score has a Hidden fees pillar. It counts extra costs that appear only in the terms, not next to the headline rate. That is 14 of the 41 providers with a score. The lists above are a different count: they follow the text in which a provider mentions verification, meter readings or costs at sale.

Which is better: a commission or a fixed fee?

That depends on how much you charge. A percentage keeps the same share, however much you charge. A fixed amount per year weighs more when you charge little, and less when you charge a lot. In this comparison 38 providers charge a percentage. No provider publishes a fixed amount per year or a fixed price per kWh.
