📘 About the UK Council Tax Calculator by Band

Each council sets a Band D charge, and every other band is a fixed fraction of it. In England Band A pays 6/9 of Band D and Band H pays 18/9 (double). Wales adds Band I at 21/9. Scotland uses different ratios for bands E to H.

If you are the only adult in the home you get 25% off. Students, carers and people with severe mental impairment may be disregarded, and people on low incomes can apply for Council Tax Reduction.
