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.

Improves peoples finances

This tool has been so valuable when completing them for my clients. I have found several that were entitled to a range of benefits which they were not claiming. As a result of the tool, I have been able to assist my clients to make claims which they are entitled to and this has boosted their income and has made a positive difference in them being able to live a better quality of life Reviewed on: 14th May 2025

I use the calculator a lot, it helps to give a clear overview of financial situations. I understand it's usually based on an average, it would be good if it could provide more accurate information - sometimes it comes up with incorrect benefits which can lead to potentially giving people incorrect information. Overall it is a great tool though. Reviewed on: 14th May 2025
