Is council tax most of what councils spend?

No. In England council tax pays for about a fifth of local authorities’ money; the rest is government grants, retained business rates, and fees and charges. In Scotland and Wales council tax pays for a smaller share, because more comes as general grant from the devolved government.

Why do the council figures not add up to the national total?

The national figures are HM Treasury’s, which count capital spending and every kind of local authority on one basis. The council figures are each council’s own revenue return: net current spending after the income its services raise. They measure different things.

Local government: what councils spend, where the money comes from, and every council

Last updated 29 September 2026. Figures refresh every night. How each figure is worked out.

£202.4bn was spent on local government services in the UK in 2024-25, £2,921 per resident. That is +2.4% on a year earlier after inflation (+6.5% in cash). In 2025-26 prices it has gone from £224.1bn in 2007-08 to £209.3bn. Counted with accounting adjustments (the Treasury’s total managed expenditure basis) it was £244.2bn. Central government paid for about 69% of it.

What is the short version?

Mostly paid for by central government: council tax pays for 21% of English local authorities’ money; grants, business rates and fees pay for the rest.
Social care is the biggest council cost after schools: 38% of English councils’ net spending in 2025-26 went on adult and children’s social care.
Fewer staff: local government employs 33% fewer people than at its 2007 peak, partly because schools and services moved out of it.
Every council has its own page: the table at the bottom links to each one.

Over the longest run published: cash, real terms and per head

United Kingdom: spending in cash and in 2025-26 prices, £ billion

Real terms use HM Treasury’s GDP deflator, 2025-26 prices. Breaks in the series: 2011-12: Each year comes from the newest PESA edition that has it as outturn (editions 2012, 2016, 2019, 2022 and the latest); later editions revise earlier years, so the joins between editions can move. 2010-11: From 2010-11 schools that become academies leave local government and are funded by central government, which lowers councils’ education spending in England. 2013-14: Police and fire in Scotland became national services (Police Scotland and the Scottish Fire and Rescue Service) on 1 April 2013 and left local government. 2013-14: Public health moved from the NHS to English councils in April 2013, and council tax benefit was replaced by councils’ own council tax support schemes. 2015-16: Northern Ireland’s 26 councils were merged into 11 on 1 April 2015, with some new functions (planning, local economic development). 2019-20: Reorganisations since 2019 (Dorset 2019, Buckinghamshire 2020, Northamptonshire 2021, Cumbria, North Yorkshire and Somerset 2023) replaced counties and districts with unitary authorities, moving spending between the kinds of authority in England. 2020-21: Covid-19 grants raised councils’ spending in 2020-21 and 2021-22. 2013-14: Universal Credit gradually replaces housing benefit paid through councils, which lowers councils’ social protection spending.

What it is spent on

Across the UK, most local government money goes on social care, schools, and (in England and Wales) the police and fire services. What councils themselves spend their net budgets on is in the second table, by nation, in each nation’s own terms.

UK local government spending by function, 2024-25, £ billion

Bar chart of UK local government spending by function in 2024-25: Social protection £69.5bn (34.3%), Education £60.5bn (29.9%), Public order and safety £22.3bn (11.0%), Economic affairs £15.8bn (7.8%).

Functions are the UN’s classification (COFOG) as HM Treasury applies it. Social protection is mostly social care and housing benefit; public order and safety is police and fire in England and Wales.

Where the money comes from

Central government pays for most of it. Council tax is the one tax councils set themselves, and it pays for 21.0% of English local authorities’ money, less in Scotland and Wales, where more comes as general grant from the devolved government.

Staff

1,970 thousand people worked in UK local government in 2026 Q2, 33.3% fewer than at the peak of 2,952 thousand in 2007 Q2, and 11.0% fewer than ten years earlier. Headcount by council is not published for England; each council’s pay bands and senior pay are on its pay and allowances page.

People employed in local government, UK, thousands (March each year)

ONS public sector employment, seasonally adjusted headcount, the first quarter of each year. Counts people, not full-time equivalents. Moves between sectors (schools becoming academies, which ONS counts as central government; public health moving to councils; police and fire in Scotland becoming national in 2013) change the count without anyone changing job.

England

Local government spending on services in England, current and net capital, as HM Treasury counts it (PESA). The level below is the authorities’ own revenue returns to MHCLG: net current spending on services (after fees, charges and other income the services raise, before most government grants). It leaves out capital spending and is on a different basis from HM Treasury’s figure above, so the rows do not add up to it.

Scotland

Local government spending on services in Scotland, current and net capital, as HM Treasury counts it (PESA). The level below is the councils’ own returns (net revenue expenditure), which leave out capital spending and are on a different basis from HM Treasury’s figure, so the rows do not add up to it.

£20.1bn in 2024-25 (cash); £20.8bn in 2025-26 prices; £3,627 per resident; +5.4% on a year earlier in cash, +1.2% in real terms.

Wales

Local government spending on services in Wales, current and net capital, as HM Treasury counts it (PESA). The level below is the councils’ own returns (net revenue expenditure), which leave out capital spending and are on a different basis from HM Treasury’s figure, so the rows do not add up to it.

£12.5bn in 2024-25 (cash); £12.9bn in 2025-26 prices; £3,926 per resident; +6.9% on a year earlier in cash, +2.7% in real terms.

The map covers the whole UK. Where the nations publish the same measure, they share one scale. Where they publish different ones, each nation is shaded against its own measure on its own scale, named in its own part of the legend, and the nations cannot be compared with each other. Where a nation publishes nothing for a measure, the map says so and links to what it publishes instead. Pick an area for its figures and a link to its page.

Every one of the councils, on each measure on the map England: Net spending per resident, before ring-fenced grants, 2025-26. Scotland: Net spending per resident, after every grant, 2024-25. Wales: Net spending per resident, before specific grants (includes Housing Benefit), 2024-25. Northern Ireland: Total council expenditure per resident (Local Government Auditor), 2023-24.

What each measure counts

Council spending per resident, excluding schools, police and fire

Net current spending per resident by every council serving the area, on all services except education, police and fire. Keyed by the district or unitary council (local authority district). In two-tier areas the county council’s spending per resident is added to the district’s, as if spread evenly across the county. Education is left out because schools that became academies left council budgets at different rates; police and fire because most are run by separate authorities. Compare within a nation: England’s figures are before ring-fenced grants, Scotland’s after every grant, Wales’s before specific grants.
Share of income from council tax

Council tax as a share of the council’s council tax, business rates, government grants and the income its services raise. Depends on the kind of council and the nation’s funding system.
Change in council spending per resident since 2017-18, after inflation

The real-terms change (HM Treasury GDP deflator) in council spending per resident excluding schools, police and fire, from 2017-18 to the year shown. England only, where the revenue outturn runs back to 2017-18; areas whose councils were reorganised since then have no figure.
Revenue reserves as a share of net spending

From the council report cards. England: earmarked and unallocated revenue reserves at the end of the year, excluding schools and public health, as a share of net revenue expenditure. Scotland: general fund reserves, including earmarked amounts, as a share of general fund net revenue expenditure. Wales publishes council reserves as a PDF only.
Outstanding borrowing per resident

Outstanding borrowing at the latest quarter end (MHCLG borrowing and investment live table) divided by residents. Includes borrowing for council housing, where the council has homes, and for commercial investments.

37 English authorities had not returned their newest year’s figures when MHCLG published them; their rows show their latest return: Isles of Scilly (2024-25), Barnsley (2024-25), Sheffield (2024-25), Dudley (2024-25), Sandwell (2024-25), Fenland (2024-25), Huntingdonshire (2024-25), High Peak (2024-25), East Devon (2024-25), Castle Point (2024-25), Cotswold (2024-25), Tewkesbury (2024-25), Folkestone and Hythe (2024-25), Ribble Valley (2024-25), North West Leicestershire (2024-25), North Norfolk (2024-25), Cannock Chase (2024-25), Stafford (2024-25), Staffordshire Moorlands (2024-25), Runnymede (2024-25), Waverley (2024-25), Woking (2024-25), North Warwickshire (2024-25), Rugby (2024-25), Warwick (2024-25), St Albans (2024-25), West Yorkshire Police and Crime Commissioner and Chief Constable (2024-25), Derbyshire Police and Crime Commissioner and Chief Constable (2024-25), Gloucestershire Police and Crime Commissioner and Chief Constable (2024-25), Wiltshire Police and Crime Commissioner and Chief Constable (2024-25), Cheshire Combined Fire and Rescue Authority (2024-25), Essex Combined Fire and Rescue Authority (2024-25), Leicestershire Combined Fire and Rescue Authority (2024-25), Shropshire Combined Fire and Rescue Authority (2024-25), Tees Valley Combined Authority (2024-25), North York Moors National Park Authority (2024-25), Lake District National Park Authority (2024-25).

What people say about it

Is local government in England funded well enough for what it has to do?

Those who say funding has not kept up with demand

Pressured public services and delays to reform the funding system are contributing to local authorities’ finances becoming unsustainable. National Audit Office (28 February 2025) Summary of its report Local government financial sustainability.
However, while real terms funding has grown by 4% between 2015-16 and 2023-24, it has not kept pace with population growth or the demand for services, the complexity of need, or the cost of delivering services to people most in need of support. National Audit Office (28 February 2025)
The sector has done well to manage substantial funding reductions since 2010-11, but financial pressure has increased markedly since our last study. National Audit Office (8 March 2018) From its report Financial sustainability of local authorities 2018.

Those who say funding is rising and being matched to need

By the end of the multi-year Settlement, we will have provided a 15.5% increase in Core Spending Power, worth over £11.4 billion, compared to 2025-26. Alison McGovern MP, Minister of State for Local Government and Homelessness, Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government (9 February 2026) Written ministerial statement on the Local Government Finance Settlement 2026-27 to 2028-29.
Only around a third of councils were given the funding to broadly match their assessed need before our reforms. By the end of the multi-year Settlement, that will be nine in ten councils. Alison McGovern MP, Minister of State for Local Government and Homelessness, Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government (9 February 2026)

What these figures do and don't show

Two measures, not one. The UK and nation totals are HM Treasury’s (PESA): current spending on services plus net capital spending by every local authority. The kinds of authority and the councils below them are the authorities’ own revenue returns: net current spending on services, after the income services raise and before most grants, with no capital spending. They do not add up to the national totals and are not meant to.
Compare within a nation. England’s net spending is before ring-fenced grants, Scotland’s after every grant and Wales’s before specific grants; police and fire are local government in England and Wales but national services in Scotland; Northern Ireland’s councils run far fewer services. Per-resident figures are only compared between councils of the same kind in the same nation.
Councils of different kinds do different things. A district council runs no schools or social care; a county council runs no bin collection. The “council spending per resident in the area” measure adds a two-tier area’s county and district together, treating the county’s spending as spread evenly per resident.
Schools move out of the figures. Schools that become academies are funded by central government, so English councils’ education spending falls as academies grow, whatever happens to school funding.
Cash, real terms and per head. Real terms use HM Treasury’s GDP deflator in the dataset’s price base; per head divides by ONS mid-year population. The long run joins five PESA editions: later editions revise earlier years.
Some councils are late. Where an English council had not returned its newest year, MHCLG’s totals by kind of authority include MHCLG’s own figure for it; the council’s own row shows its latest return.
Spending is not results. What councils deliver (school inspections, care ratings, road condition, recycling) is on each council’s area page, beside the money and never as its result.

Common questions

Is council tax most of what councils spend?: No. In England council tax pays for about a fifth of local authorities’ money; the rest is government grants, retained business rates, and fees and charges. In Scotland and Wales council tax pays for a smaller share, because more comes as general grant from the devolved government.
Why do the council figures not add up to the national total?: The national figures are HM Treasury’s, which count capital spending and every kind of local authority on one basis. The council figures are each council’s own revenue return: net current spending after the income its services raise. They measure different things.
Where can I see what my own council spends?: Every council in the table on this page links to its area page, where its spending is broken down by service and each part of its council tax bill is traced to what it pays for.
