Tools (a.k.a. the Monkeys)

Proper calculation tools, built by assessors who got fed up with the clunky alternatives and use these every day. Free to use in your browser — you only pay when you need the answer written up as a Building Control submission PDF, and never to get the answer itself.

More Monkeys on the way

The Collection is growing — we're building more calculators for assessors and designers. Got one that would save you a headache? Tell us.

Every calculator is free. The subscription is about the paperwork.

You never pay to get an answer out of a Monkey. You pay only when you need that answer written up as a Building Control submission PDF — and a subscription is optional. Here is exactly what one changes.

Free

£0

  • Every tool, in full. No account, no limits, no trial that runs out.
  • Reports carry the Energycount logo.
  • Buy any report one-off when you need one.

Monkey Pro

£19/month +VAT

or £190/year +VAT

  • Your practice on the report instead of ours — your logo on the header, and in U-Monkey your practice name, address, contact and project fields too.
  • Thermal bridge reports £15 +VAT instead of £35.
  • Condensation reports £10 +VAT instead of £25.

Monkey Pro Unlimited

£49/month +VAT

or £490/year +VAT

  • Everything in Pro.
  • Thermal bridge and condensation reports included outright — export as many as your projects need, no per-report charge.
  • Worth it from roughly three thermal bridge reports a month.

Not included in either plan: soakaway (£25 +VAT), nutrient neutrality (£79 +VAT) and Part G water (£25 +VAT, plus £15 per extra dwelling type) reports are one-off purchases on every plan. Your branding still applies to them. No subscription changes a calculation, and report IDs verify the same either way.

Full pricing and FAQs

Need the whole job done rather than the calculation?

The Monkeys cover a calculation each. When a project needs SAP, SBEM, an energy statement or testing pulling together, send us the drawings and we'll come back with one price for the lot.
