Council tax is set to rise an average of 3.5% across England today, adding to the soaring energy prices and National Insurance.
And if you were wondering exactly how much yours is set to increase, the government has published a full list of council tax levels for each local authority in England.
While each band has increased by different amounts, the average Band D property is seeing a rise of £67.
Meanwhile, the average Band A bill will rise to £1,310, Band B to £1,529 and Band C to £1,747 a year.

Band D is used for comparisons as it is in the middle of the range, while band A properties have the lowest value and band H have the highest in England.
According to the data published by the Department for Levelling Up, Housing & Communities, Northumberland now has the highest council tax in the country.
Here, a Band D property will pay around £1,988 per year.
On the other end of the scale, the cheapest area for council tax is Westminster in central London, where Band D households pay £866.
Some local authorities are also increasing taxes more than the 3.5%, including Cambridgeshire which is going up by 4.99% and East Sussex by 4.49%.
Out of 329 local authorities, council tax will be falling in four areas which are Mansfield, Selby, South Ribble and Wandsworth.
This data doesn’t take into consideration the £150 rebate that will be given to households in Bands A to D by the government.
While this was supposed to help with rising energy costs, it will now be used by most households to subsidise the rise in council tax.
The average 3.5% rise is actually below last year’s increase, which was 4.4%, and is also the lowest year-on-year rise since 2016.
