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 2024/25 multipliers are:

  Standard Multiplier Small Business Multiplier
