The Town Council is funded by the residents of Melksham through a precept on the council tax charge made by Wiltshire Council. The 2024/25 budget sets a total precept of £1,047,270. Properties are put into one of eight bands, A being the lowest, and H the highest, with Band D being the average.

Community Infrastructure Levy (CIL) monies are received from new housing developments in the Melksham Town Council area. The monies are used to provide some of the additional infrastructure needed as a result of the increased demands placed by the new housing.
