Business Rates Multipliers
Each year, the government set two multipliers:
- the Standard Multiplier for businesses
- the Small Business Multiplier for small businesses
Business rates for a property are then calculated by multiplying its rateable value by the relevant multiplier.
The 2025/26 multipliers are:
| Standard Multiplier | Small Business Multiplier | |
|---|---|---|
| 2025/26 | 55.5p | 49.9p |
