Council Tax

Yearly council tax for 2024/2025 is £2041

I have done a calculation on Entitlto benefit calculator but don't understand how much I will actually have to pay? Below is what the calculation result.

Council Tax Support

£26.61 / weekly

Your full Council Tax bill of £42.03 per week will be reduced to £15.41 per week because of your entitlement to Council Tax Support. The amount you get can be affected by other benefits. We have included the amounts we have calculated for Carer's Allowance (£81.90 per week).The amount of benefit you are entitled to has been reduced by £4.90 because you have non-dependents living with you.

    Your Council Tax bill is £42.03 a week. 

    £26.61 a week is your entitlement of CTS. 

    That leaves £15.41 a week that you need to pay.
