A dash means the series holds no figure for that date. These are the figures the calculators run on, each stored with the date it took effect, so a change applies on the day and not before. The series start in 2025 for most payments; earlier years will be added from the Department's published rate booklets. Other payments: rate history. What moved and when, across every payment: what changed at the official source.
