Important
This tool stacks a few Budget 2026 announcements into one household sketch. It ignores council tax changes outside England A–D, benefits, business rates, and most capital taxes. Frozen Income Tax thresholds still create fiscal drag when pay rises — that is separate from the line items above. Always check gov.uk.
