Business rates calculator – check your savings

Check what your venue could save in business rates after the Budget. Our members can use our calculator to see estimated bills for 2026/27, 2027/28 and 2028/29 and plan ahead for each property.

What changed at the Budget?

• A two-year real-terms freeze. For qualifying retail, hospitality and leisure properties in England, increases due to the 2026 revaluation will be capped at inflation in 2027/28 and 2028/29. Your bill could still rise in cash terms, and other changes, such as property improvements or the loss of certain reliefs, can affect what you pay.
• More small hospitality properties could qualify for relief. From April 2027, eligible properties can receive full Small Business Rate Relief up to a rateable value of £18,000, with relief tapering to zero at £21,000.
• Extra relief for eligible pubs, social clubs and live music venues. Relief rises to 35% for 2027/28 and 2028/29. Eligible live music venues with a rateable value of £1 million or more will continue to receive 15%.

Use the estimates for budgeting. Your local authority issues your bill, and the amount you pay depends on your property and the reliefs you qualify for.

To note: this calculator provides a best estimate of your business rates and the subsequent savings you may benefit from as a result of the 2026 Budget and the pub relief announced in January. We estimate that figures will be accurate to within a few percentage points, but please do not consider the results from the calculator as a final representation of your business rates bills.
