How Sunderland City Council Calculates Band Rates
Like all local authorities, Sunderland City 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 A | 6/9 | £2,197.14 × 6/9 | £1,465.00 |
| Band B | 7/9 | £2,197.14 × 7/9 | £1,709.00 |
| Band C | 8/9 | £2,197.14 × 8/9 | £1,953.00 |
| Band D | 9/9 | Baseline rate | £2,197.00 |
| Band E | 11/9 | £2,197.14 × 11/9 | £2,685.00 |
