Your pay, energy bills and savings: How the Budget affects you
Changes announced by Chancellor John Healey in his first Budget will affect your finances directly. Here's how.

Families facing cost-of-living pressures are being offered some help, or "breathing space" as Chancellor John Healey is calling it.
The help comes as prices are rising faster than expected with annual energy bills in particular likely to increase by around £300 or more in January.
If you are living in a home in council tax bands A to D in England, you will receive a one-off £100 "Household Energy Payment" from January, funded by extra tax on banks.
It meant, from April 2027, if you're under 65, you would only be able to save £12,000 a year in cash in an Isa, rather than £20,000.
