About this product

The Better Off Calculator is a tool that quickly calculates your benefit entitlement and shows you what money you may be missing out on. It shows you what steps you can take to strengthen your finances with a focus on actionable advice.

You can use the free calculator to see what help you are eligible for, and see clearly how changes in earnings or hours will impact your income.

If you're an advisor you can get more features in our professional calculator so that you can work out the exact amount of next Universal Credit payments, and create personalised action plans and smart budgets for customers.

With the Better Off Calculator you don’t need to be a policy expert to understand what changes to the welfare system mean for you.

User friendly and practical.

I find the Calculator easy to use and as you can do different calculations to reflect different circumstances I can really demonstrate how gaining employment really does pay. This is incredibly useful to my customers and also a really valuable tool to ensure that customers are claiming all the benefits they are entitled to. Reviewed on: 22nd May 2025
