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.

Great help on chat box

5
I find the chat box has been particularly helpful when I've had any further queries. If an answer cannot be provided immediately, someone always gets back to me. Additionally, the fringe benefits referred to at the end of the calculations are a good reminder of other services and help available. Reviewed on: 14th May 2025

Very help and easy to use.

Very help and easy to use. Its almost very accurate while using especially when you need to quickly have an overview of what is affordable and wheat is not. It also very helpful when checking for LHA rate, benefit calculation and the hyperlink to what the person might be entitled to. Reviewed on: 14th May 2025

Helping with extra money

5
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
