How much has council tax increased?

The change in your whole bill can differ from the percentage announced by one council.

Two measures, kept separate

Whole-area changes are calculated from published band charges, including average parish precepts. The own-share percentage is MHCLG's published change for the billing council alone. It is not the percentage change in your complete bill.

296 councils, listed alphabetically.

Whole-area charges and calculated changes; own-share change is always 2025/26 to 2026/27
