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.

This is a really useful tool when dealing with rough sleepers who may get offers of accommodation. Love the way it tells me what I can apply for to get help with various utilities/grants etc. Really helpful. Reviewed on: 5th June 2025

It’s an eye opener!

Working for Redbridge gave me an insight as to how applicants affordabilities are calculated and was an eye opener to what is considered a priority expenditure and what isn’t. I also think it helps with budgeting and I have used it for myself once before to figure out my expenditure. Reviewed on: 3rd June 2025
