How we calculate your Council Tax bill
This is how we calculate your 2024 to 2025 Council Tax bill
We've based the figures below on a Band D property in Kirklees that has no parish precept to pay.
First let's look at the 2023 to 2024 figures
| 2023/24 Average basic Council Tax rate | + 2023/24 Adult Social Care contribution | = Total Average Council Tax for 2023/24 |
|---|---|---|
| £1548.07 | £234.04 | £1782.11 |
We can now use these figures to work out the Council Tax increase for 2024 to 2025.
1. General increase for 2024 to 2025
| Council Tax for 2023/24 | x General increase for 2024/25 | = Council Tax general increase for 2024/25 |
|---|---|---|
| £1782.11 | 2.99% | £53.28 |
2. Basic amount for 2024 to 2025
| Council Tax for 2023/24 | + Council Tax general increase for 2024/25 | - Adult Social Care contribution for 2023/24 | = 2024/25 basic Council Tax |
|---|---|---|---|
| £1782.11 | £53.28 | £234.04 | £1601.35 |
3. Adult Social Care (ASC)
| Council Tax for 2023/24 | x increase for 2024/25 | = Amount of increase for 2024/25 | + Adult Social Care contribution for 2023/24 | = Adult Social Care contribution for 2024/25 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| £1782.11 | 2% | £35.64 | £234.04 | £269.69 |
Contributions started in 2016/17 and increased year on year (except for 2019/20).
There is a requirement to have a separate line on the bill to show the amount of Council Tax which is dedicated to the provision of Adult Social Care services.
There will be rounding involved in some figures to 0.01p
4. Final bill for 2024 to 2025
| 2024/25 basic Council Tax rate | + Adult Social Care contribution for 2024/25 | + West Yorkshire Fire and Rescue Authority contribution | + West Yorkshire Police Authority contribution | = 2024/25 Council Tax bill |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| £1601.35 | £269.69 | £79.49 | £249.28 | £2199.81 |
