CIL Calculator
Terms of Service
This calculator will give you an indication of the CIL charge payable on a chargeable development, given the parameters you supply. The calculator is based on the formula set out in Schedule 1 of the CIL Regulations 2010 (as amended, 2019), and the CIL rates set by the council.
It is not intended as a final representation of your total liability, and does not constitute legal advice. You should not rely on the calculator when making decisions which depend on the CIL charge amount. Formal determination of the CIL liability will be made by the council when a Liability Notice is issued after a CIL liable application is approved.

Paying CIL in Instalments
'Solihull Metropolitan Borough Council' has a CIL Instalments policy in place and CIL charges will be payable in accordance with this policy. In cases where a 'Solihull Metropolitan Borough Council' charge is less than £20,000.00 the whole amount will be payable within 60 days of the commencement of the development.
Where a charge is equal to or more than £20,000.00 but is less than £40,000.00, the amount will be payable in two instalments of 50% at 60 days and 50% at 120 days.
Where a charge is equal to or more than £40,000.00 but is less than £100,000.00, the amount will be payable in three instalments of 30% at 60 days, 35% at 120 days and 35% at 180 days.
Where a charge is equal to or more than £100,000.00 but is less than £250,000.00, the amount will be payable in four instalments of 25% at 90 days, 25% at 180 days, 25% at 270 days and 25% at 360 days.
Where a charge is equal to or more than £250,000.00 and up to £1,000,000.00, the amount will be payable in four instalments of 25% at 120 days, 25% at 240 days, 25% at 360 days and 25% at 480 days.
The payment of CIL in instalments should be taken into account in any viability assessments, as this will assist with cash flow.
Phased Development
In cases where a development which has been permitted in phases, each phase is treated as separate development for the purposes of CIL, and each phase should be entered into a separate calculator. The phasing of payments should be taken into account in any viability assessments, as this will assist with cash flow.
Relief and Exemption from CIL
If the development is not eligible for social housing relief, there are other reliefs and exemptions that may apply.
Further information on relief and exemption from CIL can be found on the National Planning Practice Guidance website at: http://planningguidance.communities.gov.uk/blog/guidance/community-infrastructure-levy/relief/
Or on the Solihull Metropolitan Borough Council website at: www.solihull.gov.uk/cil
Final CIL Liability
Formal determination of the CIL liability will be made by 'Solihull Metropolitan Borough Council' when a Liability Notice is issued after a CIL liable application is approved. Please note that the CIL charges produced by the calculator may be subject to change and may differ to the final calculation of CIL liability.
The final calculation of the CIL chargeable amount will be based on the final gross internal area (GIA) floorspace figures proposed as part of the approved development, and will depend on the following:
- Is the floorspace of existing buildings to be demolished or retained eligible for deduction from the CIL chargeable amount?
- Is the development eligible for relief or exemption from CIL?
- Has indexation been applied?
- Have any surcharges or late payment interest been applied?
