Heating oil price today and tomorrow

Today’s heating oil price in figures

Over thirty days, the maximum price of heating oil under 2,000 litres has risen by 5.9 c a litre; over a year the difference is +71.7 c. The last change was on 31 October 2026, from €1.614 to €1.578. Over the last 365 days a litre cost at its lowest €0.747 (on 9 January 2026) and at its highest €1.650 (on 28 October 2026), with an average of €1.166.

The three heating-oil lines move together: the official tariff recalculates them on the same day, from the same quotations. The gap between the under-2,000-litre band and the 2,000-litres-or-more band therefore stays almost constant, 4.3 c a litre today. Diesel, petrol and LPG follow their own, slower pace, set out on the fuel prices page.

Tomorrow: published tariff or estimate

The official tariff for 1 November 2026 is already published: it stays at €1.578 a litre, unchanged. A day’s tariff is often known the day before: once Statbel has put it online, the site shows it as it is and calls it the official tariff. Until then we show an estimate, and we call it an estimate.

The maximum price follows paid international quotations that nobody can consult freely: redoing the official calculation in advance is impossible. Our estimate therefore starts from the last published tariff, the assumption that was wrong least often over a year, and frames it with the changes actually seen on the same weekday. Over 52 weeks its average gap with the tariff actually published was 2.0 c a litre, and 2.3 c over the last four weeks; the gap stayed under one cent in 52 % of cases. The full method is on the programme contract page.

Thursday is the day a new tariff most often comes into force (51 times out of 52), Monday the day it changes least (0 times). To follow tomorrow day by day, open the heating oil price tomorrow page.

Under or over 2,000 litres: what the band changes

The official tariff has two delivery prices. From 2,000 litres the whole volume moves to the lower price, today €1.535 instead of €1.578. It is not a discount on the litres above the threshold: the whole order changes price. In practice, an order just under 2,000 litres can cost almost as much as a 2,000-litre order, which fills more of the tank. The volume costing exactly as much as 2,000 litres is 1,946 litres at today’s tariff.

Your tank must of course be able to take the volume, and a joint order with neighbours reaches the threshold more easily. The detailed calculation, with the price of each extra litre, is on the heating oil under or over 2,000 litres page.

What the maximum price says, and what it does not

The maximum price is a legal ceiling, VAT included: selling above it is forbidden, selling below it is allowed and common. The figure shown here is therefore not the price you will pay, but the price nobody may charge you above. If you get a quote, compare it with the maximum for the delivery day; the maximum price of heating oil guide explains how to read an invoice and what the three tariff lines cover.

Since 1 April 2024, 50S heating gasoil has disappeared from the tariff; the official lines are labelled H0/H7. The “at the pump” price covers heating oil bought in small quantities at a filling station, in a jerrycan for instance.

Twelve months of heating oil prices

Over these twelve months the highest average is November 2026 (€1.578), the lowest December 2025 (€0.781). As a yearly average, a litre under 2,000 litres went from €0.839 in 2025 to €1.234 in 2026 (year to date). The day-by-day curve and the averages of every product are on the heating oil price history page.

What a year of heating costs

A house heated with oil burns a volume each year that depends on its size, insulation and the winter; your invoices for a full year give it better than any average. The table prices four volumes at today’s maximum price and at the previous year’s average price.

For your own volume, the heating oil budget compares today’s price with the year’s lowest and highest, and with what you paid at your last delivery.

Help: the Social Heating Fund

Households on modest incomes can get an allowance per litre delivered, paid by the Social Heating Fund and claimed at the municipality’s CPAS/OCMW (public social welfare centre) within 60 days of delivery. The amount depends on the invoiced price: at today’s maximum price it would be 20 cents a litre, or €200 for 1,000 litres, up to 1,500 litres per calendar year. Income conditions and the full scale are on the heating allowance page.

Diesel, petrol and LPG

The same official tariff caps road fuels. Today diesel B7 costs at most €2.452, 95 E10 petrol €1.988, 98 E5 €2.149 and LPG €1.109. Their price changes far less often than heating oil’s: 68 new tariffs in a year for diesel, 48 for 95 E10 petrol, against 243 for heating oil.

Where the figures come from

Every price comes from the official tariff of petroleum products released by Statbel on be.STAT, published as open data under the CC BY 4.0 licence. The averages come from the monthly and yearly tables of the same source. The site reads them five times a day; last reading on 31 October 2026, last day published 3 November 2026. The programme contract framework is described in the Chamber’s bill DOC 56 1452/001, and the maximum-price rule by the Social Heating Fund. Formulas and tests in detail: method and sources.

Why this site

This site does better than the first Google result because it gives today’s and tomorrow’s official maximum price read directly from Statbel five times a day, prices your delivery in the exact band without asking for an address, email or phone number, and publishes the real error of its estimate instead of an unproven forecast. It sells no heating oil, passes no request on to a dealer and takes no commission.
