English & Welsh figures include an area-average parish/community precept; Scottish figures exclude water and sewerage (set by Scottish Water), so a real Scottish bill is higher than shown. Band D is the official published figure; Band F is derived from the statutory proportions (Local Government Finance Act 1992, s.5; Scottish E–H per SSI 2016/368) and rounded to the nearest pound. Rates last verified 4 July 2026.
Methodology and sources
Band D figures for all 350 UK billing authorities are parsed from the official machine-readable 2026/27 releases — nothing is hand-typed. Band F is derived by multiplying each council's Band D by the statutory proportion for that band: in England and Wales the ladder runs 6/9 (Band A) to 18/9 (Band H); Scotland keeps 6/9–9/9 for A–D but uses raised multipliers for E–H (Band E is 473/360 of Band D, Band H 882/360) from April 2017. All sources are published under the Open Government Licence v3.0. Rates last verified 4 July 2026; re-ingested each April.

Band F council tax — FAQ
It depends on the council. Across 350 UK councils the average Band F charge for 2026/27 is £3,403, ranging from £1,485 (Wandsworth) to £3,994 (Dorset). Band F is a fixed statutory fraction of each council's Band D charge — the full ranked table is on this page. Sources: MHCLG, Welsh Government and Scottish Government 2026/27 releases (OGL v3.0).
Councils publish one number — the Band D charge — and every other band is a fixed proportion of it, set in law. In England and Wales Band F is 13/9 of Band D (Local Government Finance Act 1992, s.5). Scotland uses the same A–D ladder but higher E–H multipliers since April 2017 (SSI 2016/368), so Scottish Band E–H charges here use those raised proportions.
This page can't tell you your band, and no postcode tool can honestly. A specific home's band is on the official register: the VOA's 'Check your Council Tax band' service (England and Wales) or the Scottish Assessors portal (Scotland), both free. This page shows what Band F costs in each council once you know the band.
Broadly, with two caveats. English and Welsh figures include an area-average parish or community precept, so an individual bill varies slightly by parish. Scottish figures exclude water and sewerage charges, which are added to the same bill by Scottish Water — so a real Scottish bill is higher than the figure shown. The ranking is indicative rather than perfectly like-for-like.
