Love it.

Love it. I used the calculator nearly everyday and it's been really helpful with helping client's budget better and assess their eligibility for benefits. My only issue with the tool is when it comes to doing the budget, it uses their potential income rather than their actual income, so it often looks like they have more money than they have, I understand it's to show them what their budget would look like if they applied for everything, but I think showing them what their budget looks like before the increase is more important as I can offer budgeting advice. Having both would make it easier to show client's how their income can affect their spending. Reviewed on: 7th October 2026

The Perfect Income Maximisation Tool for Teams

5
The calculator is easy to use and would be a good system for anyone who wants to check if they are missing out on extra financial support. It only takes about five minutes to navigate through the clear, straightforward questions. What I like most is the visual scenario tool. It allows you to shift your working hours or income around to see exactly how your Universal Credit or council tax discounts change in real-time. It completely takes the guessing out of budgeting and planning for the future. Reviewed on: 14th July 2026

The ups and downs

4
Policy in practice gives the benefit calculation whilst working through with the client, it gives us a realistic idea of what the client could possibly apply for to benefit their situation and possibly maximise their income. It is easy to use and follow, however, due to legislation changes, some things including the child benefit calculation were delayed, however, I can understand this is expected when changes come in. It was still easy to fix and work with. Reviewed on: 14th July 2026
