A number of charges will be increased alongside the 4.5% council tax hike and new £30 brown bin charge.
Notably some parking charges will be increased by up to 18%.
Summer Street, Gray Street and Frederick Street charges will be increased from £2.20 to £2.50 for less than two hours, from £3.30 to £3.80 for between two and four hours.
Parking at Chapel Street, Denburn, Frederick Street and West North Street will also rise to a maximum of £20 for between 10 and 14 hours.
School meals will increase in price to £2.45 for secondary schools and £2.20 for primaries while meals at day care centres will rise to £4.
Individual music lessons will rise by 18% to £400 per year.

Many organisations are facing steep reductions in grant funding.
Aberdeen Performing Arts will be cut by £100,000, Sport Aberdeen by £550,000, SHMU by £17,000, Peacock Visual Arts by £47,000 and tourism body Visit Aberdeenshire by £260,000 among others.
The axe will also fall on potholes, footway repairs, street lighting repairs, street sweeping and gardening saving around £700,000.
Culture spokeswoman Marie Boulton said the “much-loved” Spectra festival would return next year but added that the long-held Unesco cities ambition would be ditched to save £250,000.
Tourism body UKinbound’s CEO Joss Croft criticised the cut to Visit Aberdeenshire.
He said: “Anything that reduces the ability of a destination to manage its product and promote itself is deeply regrettable for Aberdeenshire specifically, and the UK as a whole.”
Unions broadly welcomed that there would be no compulsory redundancies.
Tommy Campbell, regional officer for Unite, said: “It’s welcome news that the city council is still sticking by its vow of no compulsory redundancies, however even though staff may volunteer to leave, the management needs to recognise that the workload will not reduce, and therefore any staff left behind must be managed properly and supported to avoid any undue burden and stress.”
Kenny Luke, branch secretary of Unison Aberdeen City branch welcomed the decision to protect staff terms and conditions.
He said: “Changes to terms and conditions would have been the straw that broke the camel’s back. It’s not what our members signed up for.”
