How much is council tax in Gwynedd?

Band D for 2026‑27: £2,469 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.

BandA year
Band A£1,646
Band B£1,920
Band C£2,194
Band D£2,469
Band E£3,017
Band F£3,566
Band G£4,115
Band H£4,938
Band I£5,760

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.
