How we calculate your Council Tax bill
This is how we calculate your 2020 to 2021 Council Tax bill
We've based the figures below on a Band D property in Kirklees that has no parish precept to pay.
First let's look at the 2019 to 2020 figures
| 2019 to 2020 basic Council Tax rate | + 2019 to 2020 Adult Social Care contribution | = Total Council Tax for 2019 to 2020 |
|---|---|---|
| £1403.23 | + £106.33 | = £1509.56 |
We can now use these figures to work out the Council Tax increase for 2020 to 2021.
1. General increase for 2020 to 2021
| Council Tax for 2019 to 2020 | x General increase for 2019 to 2020 | = Council Tax general increase for 2020 to 2021 |
|---|---|---|
| £1509.56 | x 1.99% | = £30.05 |
Please note that the £30.05 figure has been rounded up due to calculating using 4 decimal places.
2. Basic amount for 2020 to 2021
| Council Tax for 2019 to 2020 | + Council Tax general increase for 2020 to 2021 | - Adult Social Care contribution | = 2020 to 2021 basic Council Tax |
|---|---|---|---|
| £1509.56 | + £30.05 | - £106.33 | = £1433.28 |
3. Adult Social Care (ASC)
Contributions started in 2016/17 and increased year on year up to 2018 to 2019.
There is a requirement to have a separate line on the bill to show the amount of Council Tax which is dedicated to the provision of ASC services.
4. Final bill for 2020 to 2021
| 2020 to 2021 basic Council Tax rate | + Adult Social Care contribution for 2020 to 2021 | + West Yorkshire Fire and Rescue Authority contribution | + West Yorkshire Police Authority contribution | = 2020 to 2021 Council Tax bill |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| £1433.28 | + £136.52 | + £65.87 | + £196.28 | = £1831.95 |
