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.

I use it to show Parents how they can benefit going back to work, showing them the amount they are still entitled too helps them realise it isnt so bad! This encourages them so much to proactively get back out there and start a career or boost their skills further, its a great tool. Reviewed on: 22nd May 2025

I use this tool on a daily basis for a number of reasons. It gives such a great overview of benefit eligibility alongside useful hints and tips. Compared to other similar tools, I feel this is a truly rounded experience covering all eventualities to give sound, quality advice. Reviewed on: 20th May 2025

I was apprehensive about it originally, but now a big fan after using it. I think the UI has been designed well, UX is a pleasure to navigate and it's a straight forward tool to use as a resource. Reviewed on: 16th May 2025
