How much is council tax in Cardiff?
Band D for 2026‑27: £2,013 a year
Every other band is a fixed share of Band D, set in law. Band A is two thirds of it; band I is two and a third times it.
| Band | A year |
|---|---|
| Band A | £1,342 |
| Band B | £1,566 |
| Band C | £1,789 |
| Band D | £2,013 |
| Band E | £2,461 |
| Band F | £2,908 |
| Band G | £3,355 |
| Band H | £4,026 |
| Band I | £4,697 |
Band D is the average across the area, including police and community council charges, so a home's own bill can be a little different. Bands other than D are worked out by us from Band D and rounded to the pound. A home's bill also takes off any discount, such as 25% for one adult living alone.
