For 2026/27 the average Band D is £2,366.36, an increase of £108.33, or 4.8%, on the previous £2,258.03. Bexley ranks eighth of the 32 London boroughs for Band D and 199th of 296 in England, £44.61 below the English simple average. A Band C bill averages £2,103.43 and a Band E bill £2,892.22.
The borough's own share is £1,855.85, 78.4% of Band D. The balance of £510.51 goes to the Greater London Authority.
