How much is council tax in North Ayrshire?

Band D for 2026‑27: £1,686 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 nearly two and a half times it.

BandA year
Band A£1,124
Band B£1,311
Band C£1,499
Band D£1,686
Band E£2,215
Band F£2,739
Band G£3,301
Band H£4,130

Band D is the average across the area, 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. The figures do not include water and sewerage charges. A home's bill also takes off any discount, such as 25% for one adult living alone.
