Excluding rent or mortgage how much do you pay for the basics of
Gas/elec/water/ctax
/TV license etc etc

TV licence is the same cost for everyone.

CTax £34
Water £8
Gas and electric £60 combined

Live alone, 3 bed house, on disability benefits hence reduced water and ctax.

How much do you pay, @WhyWhyY?

Unsure, partner does all that but we’re separating and now I’m budgeting for my first home.

Energy 75
Water 30
Internet 30
Council tax 150 (x10 months)
Phones 14 (for two)
No TV licence

Energy £100pm (but paying off debt)
Water £22pm
C tax £130 (over 10 months with 25% discount)

@OldTinHat Sorry for poking my nose in but I notice you say you are on disability benefits, does that include PIP? If so, please double check with your council that you have to pay any council tax at all, not even just a reduced rate. I've just had a terrible time with our local council who have tried to charge us Council tax as, because my dh is in receipt of PIP, he shouldn't have to pay any council tax at all. The council have, very apologetically, finally realised they were in the wrong, but I've since heard of it happening to other people.

Gas and elec approx £65
Water £25
CT £92 (band A, w single person discount)
Mobile £10
= £192

I don't have WiFi or TV license

Energy -218
Council tax - 140
Water - 55

I pay £350 a month for water/CT/TV/internet

I pay £1750 a year council tax, water bills unmetered and included - Scotland
I pay £660 internet/tv a year
I pay £1800 a year gas and electric
I don't have a tv license.

Energy £180
water £40
CT £200
wifi and telly, a fortune as we have Sky, a licence and all the streamers but that's a choice rather than necessity.

Without knowing size of property and number of residents, the figures are pretty meaningless.

CT 190 for 10mths like having the almost £400 for the two free months

Water 80

G&e £200 was £275

Around £600 - but energy is 300 and council tax £245 - quite a big house though and 2 separate heating systems as we have a converted garage asa a studio -

If you receive pip do you not ever pay ct then

Or Certain types of pip

As my friend pays full ct like me but has basic pip

@Blondeshavemorefun Sorry i don't have a link, I'm not too good with stuff like that but I just googled PIP and council tax.

That's kind of you @Bishopsgirl. Yes, I claim PIP and ESA. The council are aware and have reduced my rate to £34. Where I lived previously, the local authority didn't charge me any CT and that was before I received PIP. This lot are money grabbing!
