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.

Helping with extra money

As a person who works helping people find work, it is great to be able to help them see what benefits they could be claiming. It is very difficult to live of benefits without defrauding the government so this means that genuine people can claim what they are entitled too. Reviewed on: 14th May 2025

I have sat with so many customers and they have no idea about their earning potential until we do a better off calculator, to the point it has inspired some to go for full time roles instead part time. Reviewed on: 14th May 2025

I have used the policy in practice better off calculator on numerous occassions to support my cutomers and demonstrate the financial benefit of finding work. I have observed noticable positive shifts in their mindsets as a result and consider this an essential tool. Reviewed on: 14th May 2025
