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.

The calculator on the whole works very well, if there are issues there's a handy chat box and the team look at the issue very quickly to rectify it. There are some calculations it refuses to do, but they are extremely complicated situations Reviewed on: 22nd May 2025

Great resource

I use this service at least twice a day at work and it's always an invaluable tool to the participants we utilise it for. The various insights at the end of how much better off they would be, the ease at which we can adjust amounts and hours makes it such an easy tool to use. Reviewed on: 22nd May 2025
