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 Westminster 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 Westminster Council when a Liability Notice is issued after a CIL liable application is approved.

Phased Development
For 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 Westminster Council at: http://www.westminster.gov.uk/cil/
Final CIL Liability
Formal determination of the CIL liability will be made by Westminster 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?
