Check if you could be better off

Use our calculator to check:

  • which benefits you may be able to claim
  • whether you could get help with your rent or Council Tax
  • how changes to your work, pay or household could affect your income
  • how much money you could have left after essential costs

The result is an estimate. It is not a decision about a benefit claim.

Before you start

The calculator will ask about:

  • who lives with you
  • your income and savings
  • your rent or mortgage
  • your Council Tax
  • your childcare costs
  • any benefits you already receive

Use recent bills, payslips and benefit letters if you have them. You can still use the calculator if you do not know every amount.

Your answers are used to calculate your result. They are not a benefit claim.
