    Observed budget: net current expenditure by service. Figures are net of sales, fees and charges, and transfers between local authorities and from other delivery bodies. NHS-funded expenditure, such as through the Better Care Fund, is excluded.

    Amounts are shown in pounds, converted from the printed whole thousands of pounds. Zero service headings are omitted; a negative service total is labelled net income.

    Where the money comes from

    Revenue expenditure is a different measure from service expenditure. The funding view below rearranges MHCLG's financing identity: line 900 plus lines 904 to 985 equals line 990. Amounts are positive magnitudes; the direction shows which are added or deducted to reach revenue expenditure. An addition to reserves is deducted from available funding.

    Council tax requirement includes parish precepts. This RA budget figure and the Table 10 bill figures are separate returns; neither has been adjusted to force agreement. The funding reserves group includes the financing lines for schools, DSG and public health as well as other earmarked and unallocated reserves.

    How per resident figures are calculated

    Your bill

    Published Band D area averages for 2026/27. Parish charges are averaged into the council line and already included in the total. Do not add them again. An area average is not an exact bill for an address.

    The council's own Band D, excluding local precepts, is £2,130.23. This is a separate measure, not an additional charge.

    Adult social care is included in council charges. Police and fire may be funded within another line. A zero separate precept does not mean the service is absent.

    Councils whose areas touch Sheffield's in the ONS boundary file, and that have a budget game. The file is clipped to the coastline, so councils that face each other across an estuary or a tidal river may not touch in it.
