How much is council tax in Swansea?
Band D for 2026‑27: £2,238 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 | £1,492 |
| Band B | £1,741 |
| Band C | £1,990 |
| Band D | £2,238 |
| Band E | £2,736 |
| Band F | £3,233 |
| Band G | £3,730 |
| Band H | £4,477 |
| Band I | £5,223 |
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.
