Housing and Council Tax Benefits Calculator

GLOUCESTER.GOV.UK
Housing and Council Tax Benefits Calculator

Calculate your own (or your tenant's ) Housing and Council tax Benefit.

For an estimate of your  housing and council tax benefits entitlement you can use our new online benefits calculator.

It's quick and easy to use!

The amount of benefit you can get depends on:

  • How much income you (and your partner) have coming in.
  • The amount of capital you have.
  • The amount of money the government says you need to live on.
  • Deductions we may make for other people living in the property (these are called non dependants).
  • The amount of rent you pay.
  • Deductions for items included in the rent, which do not count for benefits.

If you have any problems with our calculator  or any general benefit enquiries please e mail us at benefits@gloucester.gov.uk

Please note that  benefit rates increased in April 2008, this calculator uses the new rates.

This calculator has been upgraded to help you calculate your Local Housing Allowance-  introduced in April 2008.
