How Cardiff Council Calculates Band Rates
Like all local authorities, Cardiff Council sets a single Band D rate each year. All other bands are then calculated as fixed fractions of that rate, set nationally by central government. The fractions are expressed in ninths:
| Band | Fraction of Band D | Calculation | 2026/27 rate |
|---|---|---|---|
| Band A | 6/9 | £2,066.00 × 6/9 | £1,377.00 |
| Band B | 7/9 | £2,066.00 × 7/9 | £1,607.00 |
| Band C | 8/9 | £2,066.00 × 8/9 | £1,836.00 |
| Band D | 9/9 | Baseline rate | £2,066.00 |
| Band E | 11/9 | £2,066.00 × 11/9 | £2,525.00 |
| Band F | 13/9 | £2,066.00 × 13/9 | £2,984.00 |
| Band G | 15/9 | £2,066.00 × 15/9 | £3,443.00 |
| Band H | 18/9 | £2,066.00 × 18/9 | £4,132.00 |
