Per-band figures (A to H) are derived from the real total Band D charge using the band proportions fixed in law by the Local Government Finance Act 1992, s.5(1): A = 6/9, B = 7/9, C = 8/9, D = 9/9, E = 11/9, F = 13/9, G = 15/9, H = 18/9 of Band D. Every property in England is placed in one of these eight bands based on its 1 April 1991 value. This is a legal arithmetic transform of the published Band D charge, not estimated data. Your actual bill also reflects any parish precept for your specific parish and any discounts (for example the 25% single-person discount) or exemptions you qualify for.
The Gera Council Tax Index (GCTI) re-expresses each authority’s real 2026/27 Band D charge as a ratio to the England average Band D (£2,391.52), indexed so that 100 = the England average. GCTI = round(area Band D ÷ England Band D × 100). A GCTI of 110 means the Band D bill in that area is 10% above the England average; 92 means 8% below. The national rank orders all 296 English billing authorities by Band D charge (rank 1 = the highest). Both are pure, reproducible re-expressions of the published MHCLG figures shown on the page — anyone can recompute them.
