How much is council tax in Kingston upon Thames?
Band D for 2026‑27: £2,609 a year
Every other band is a fixed share of Band D, set in law. Band A is two thirds of it; band H is twice it.
| Band | A year |
|---|---|
| Band A | £1,739 |
| Band B | £2,029 |
| Band C | £2,319 |
| Band D | £2,609 |
| Band E | £3,189 |
| Band F | £3,769 |
| Band G | £4,349 |
| Band H | £5,218 |
Band D is the average across the area, including the county council, police, fire and combined authority charges, and parish or town 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.
