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.

Better Off with the Better Off Calculator!

5
I use the Better Off Calculator several times each week and find it an excellent support tool which i have come to rely on. I can perform a quick calculation or a more in-depth budget planner all at a convenient few clicks when I have a tenant on the phone. Working with tenants who mostly have high end rent arrears and struggle to budget in today's financial climate, to have this at our fingertips is invaluable, beneficial for both tenants and for staff, quick and easy and allows us to help in a more professional mannner.

It allows the customer to know what benefits they are entitled to however due to the customer being able to complete, it may not show true figures. Reviewed on: 17th June 2024
