Every UK bill change with a date on it, in the order it hits you.
16 changes are already scheduled across 8 months. 9 of them have a published amount. The rest have a date and nothing else yet, and we say which is which rather than letting you assume. Nothing here is a forecast.
Why the difference matters
Almost every bill in this country changes on a date that was set long before anyone told you. The energy price cap moves on the first day of a quarter. Water, council tax, the TV licence, rail fares and NHS charges nearly all move on 1 April. Broadband contracts contain their own rise, written in on the day you signed.
What is usually missing is whether the number is actually known yet. A page saying the TV licence rises next April is true and useless if it implies somebody has announced by how much. Nobody has. Each entry below is marked either amount published, meaning the figure exists in a document we link to, or date only, meaning the date is fixed and the amount is not.

Where this comes from, and where it could be wrongSources and limits
Every entry names the body that set the date: Ofgem, DHSC, DfT, MHCLG, DCMS, Openreach, TfL, or the legislation itself. Where an amount is published we link the tracker page carrying it and its source.
What could be wrong. A scheduled date can be moved or cancelled by the body that set it, and government policy changes. An entry marked date only will stay that way until an amount is published, and we will not guess at it in the meantime. This list covers changes we have found; if you know of one missing, tell us and it goes in. [email protected].
30 price changes logged. Every one had a date you could have known in advance.
Tell us which bills you care about and we will email you when one of them changes, with the figure, the date it starts and a link to the regulator that set it. Free, no account, one click to stop.
Email alerts are not running yet. We would rather say that than take your address and send you nothing. Until they are, the change log carries every dated change the day we find it, and you can bookmark it or follow it in a reader.
