Council Tax Calculator (UK 2024/25)
25% for single occupant
Council Tax is a local government tax in the UK based on the estimated value of your property in 1991 (for England and Scotland) or 2003 (for Wales), assigned to one of 8 bands (A–H). It funds local services including rubbish collection, roads, and social care. Each local council sets its own rate, so amounts vary considerably.
💡
Tip: Always check your actual council's rate — national averages can be misleading. Some councils charge 200%+ for long-term empty properties. Challenge your band if you think it is wrong — 400,000 successful challenges have been made since 1993.
