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 agent I was chatting with was very friendly, patient, knowledgeable and helpful. I felt that everything I was struggling with was addressed and all of my questions were answered. They provided useful, actionable information and I am now in a better position to move forward with my budget calculation. Reviewed on: 31st July 2024
