Energy bills drop, but council tax and water costs rise in April across the UK. Minimum wage increases, and benefits like universal credit rise. Prescription fees remain frozen, and councils provide crisis funds. Energy bills under the Ofgem cap fall, but an 18% spike is predicted for July. Council tax averages 4.9% higher, water bills rise, and broadband providers increase monthly costs. TV licenses, car tax, and air passenger duty also rise. Income tax thresholds freeze, pulling more into higher bands. Out-of-contract broadband users overpay, but fixes can trim costs. Wage bumps and aid offset some pain, but budget smart for Julys energy flip.
