How the monthly rate is worked out

LHA rates are set as a weekly amount for each Broad Rental Market Area (BRMA). The monthly figure is the weekly rate × 52 ÷ 12, which is how Universal Credit works out housing costs. The 2026/27 rates are the same as the rates set in April 2024, so they have not changed since 2024/25.
