A Band D home in the main town pays £2,501.18 in 2026/27. It is collected on one bill but shared between the authorities that levy it:
A core charge of £1,614.91 plus an adult social care precept of £323.51. It also carries an element for the Environment Agency's Southern Regional Flood Defence Committee and the Thames Regional Flood Defence Committee — the bodies that fund flood defence on the Wey and its catchment.
+4.99% on last year.
Up £15.00 on 2025/26's £337.57, agreed by the Surrey Police and Crime Panel on 4 February 2026.
+4.44% on last year.
£4.04 a week from a Band D home — bins and recycling, parks and countryside, leisure, planning, environmental health, elections and the car parks. Its own leaflet says it provides around £1,273 of services per household.
+2.99% on last year.
24 parts of the borough have their own parish or town council, whose precept is added to the bill. Everywhere else is unparished. What each one adds at Band D:

| Wisley (Meeting) | £0.00 |
| Worplesdon | £129.73 |
Wisley is a parish meeting and levies nothing, so a Wisley home pays exactly the Guildford Town Area charge. One caveat on the rest: this tool scales each parish precept by the statutory band proportions, while the council works a parish's band cells from precept ÷ taxbase, so a few parish cells here can land a penny away from the published table — Worplesdon at Band A comes out at £1,753.95 against the council's £1,753.94. Every band of the Guildford Town Area matches the council's table exactly. The council's own table at guildford.gov.uk/taxcharge is the authority.
