Compare Band G across UK councils

The table above shows Band G charges across our sample UK councils, each using its own nation's ratio. Use our side-by-side comparison page for the full billing-authority list with sortable Band D charges.

How we calculate Band G charges

Every billing authority sets its own annual Band D rate; Band G is then a fixed statutory proportion of that rate (15/9), so the charge tracks the local Band D rather than a single national figure. That produces the 2.7-times spread between the dearest (Dorset Council) and cheapest (Wandsworth) shown above. Scotland raised its Band G ratio in April 2017, so Band G is 705/360 of Band D there versus 15/9 in England and Wales. Each council's charge above uses its own nation's statutory ratio under the Local Government Finance Act 1992, see our methodology page for the full per-country schedule.

Charges use each nation's statutory band ratio applied to the council-set Band D; your bill may include parish or special-expense precepts.
