The spending limit for the regulated period is £3,040, plus 8p per entry in the local government register in the local authority area you are standing in on the last day for publication of the notice of election.1
Your local electoral registration officer will be able to give you the number of registered electors in the local authority in which you are standing.
For example, if there are 800,000 electors in the local authority area, the spending limit is:
£3,040 + (800,000 × 0.08) = £67,040
