So, to support you in seeing how much better off you might be and to check that you’re claiming everything you should, we’ve introduced the Better Off Calculator.
What is the Better Off Calculator?
The Better Off Calculator is a completely free tool that shows what you, and your household, are entitled to.
All you need to get started is five minutes and some basic information about your income and the people who live with you…the Better Off Calculator will then do the hard work for you!
Independent and always up to date, the Better Off Calculator will show you:
- What benefits you could be claiming

- How your benefits will be affected if your circumstances change
How you could be better off
The Better Off Calculator will show your entitlement to a number of benefits such as Universal Credit, Housing Benefit, Pension Credit, Jobseeker’s Allowance and Employment Support Allowance. As well as entitlement to support such as Free School Meals, Council Tax Discount and Carer’s Allowance, to name just a few.
Simply, it does the hard work for you and allows you to see and understand all the support and benefits you could be claiming – even those you thought you may not be eligible for.
So, take a look today and find out how much better off you could be in just a few clicks.
