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.

An invaluable tool

This calculator is an invaluable tool when assessing debt advice clients' entitlement. It meets the need created by the governments' dearth of communication about benefits and helps people to start navigating the complexity of the system. Reviewed on: 4th June 2024

Updated format more difficult to interpret.

4
It is useful to create different scenarios to compare against one another. The calculator was quite straight forward before the update, but now the format seems difficult to get a grasp of- it was easier read before. Reviewed on: 28th May 2024
