What this council spent, how it changed and how it compares with councils with similar responsibilities and population sizes.
Stirling Council only. This covers the council’s own services. It is not all public spending in the area.
£278.52 million in 2024–25
Council net revenue spending on a funding basis. These are recorded amounts spent, rather than plans for future spending.
2024–25 prices · 2024–25
“Per resident” spreads the total across everyone who lives here. It is not a payment to each person.
Has spending kept up with prices and population?
Allowing for inflation makes spending in different years easier to compare. Looking per resident also allows for a changing population.

General fund service expenditure less service income and specific grants, adjusted to the Scottish funding basis. Includes council contributions to integrated health and care arrangements, not all NHS or Integration Joint Board expenditure.
Outside this measure: Separate capital-account expenditure; Housing revenue account; Separately reported statutory harbour accounts; Separate transport and valuation boards; Central-government and NHS spending.
Each financial year runs from April to March. Per-resident amounts use the population estimate for the year in which that financial year starts, matched to the council’s area code. Missing populations remain gaps. Inflation is adjusted using a broad measure of prices across the economy; it does not measure each service’s particular costs.
Changes in council boundaries, responsibilities, schools or accounting can affect the figures. A rise or fall alone does not show a change in service quality.
Sources and calculations →How does it compare with similar councils?
The comparison uses councils in Scotland with the same broad responsibilities, choosing up to three closest in population size. They may face different needs and costs.
| Council or comparison group | At 2024–25 prices | Cash prices |
|---|---|---|
| Stirling (this council) | £2,944 | £2,944 |
| Moray | £2,774 | £2,774 |
| East Renfrewshire | £2,953 | £2,953 |
| Midlothian | £2,977 | £2,977 |
| Scotland councils with the same broad responsibilities | £2,782 | £2,782 |
How the comparison works
Same country and broad council responsibilities, closest population size. Not adjusted for need, deprivation, income, commuter demand or service outcomes.
Fixed cohort of current councils of this type; complete observations only. This is not all council spending in the country.
The wider comparison covers 32 current councils of the same type. Spending and populations are added before dividing; individual council rates are not averaged.
The selected councils use the latest year with matching spending and population for this council. Every comparison row uses that same year. This is not a ranking of value for money or a measure of whether funding is fair.
Where does the council money go?

Data table and workings
General fund service expenditure less service income and specific grants, adjusted to the Scottish funding basis. Includes council contributions to integrated health and care arrangements, not all NHS or Integration Joint Board expenditure.
Funding-basis net revenue is not comparable to English/Welsh council spending totals.
Specific grants, integrated care and accounting changes affect net spending; this is not the full cost of all local public services.
The table retains the full reviewed history when the chart is shortened. Preset ranges end at this measure’s latest published period. Yearly windows count published annual periods; monthly windows count months. Gaps are never filled with estimates.

A zero may mean this council does not provide that service. A negative net amount can occur when service income exceeds spending. A missing figure means no usable value was reported.
What can be done with these figures?
Check which services account for a change, compare it with local needs, and ask what residents received for the money. Look for outcomes such as care access, school places or the condition of roads, alongside the amount spent.

Only reviewed 2017–18 to 2024–25 funding-basis returns are used. Changes to accounting and integrated care can affect trends. The 2024–25 workbook Notes sheet contains a stale 2023–24 date sentence; individual data-sheet years and the publication identify 2024–25.
