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.

I use policy in practice benefit check on a daily basis in my role as a money adviser. It's straight forward to use and I like the scenario tab so you can show clients the difference to their claims if they have a change in income Reviewed on: 20th March 2024

The A useful and beneficial tool

5
The better off calculator has been a great tool for providing our participants with knowledge that they would otherwise not be aware of. It is a clear and accurate demonstration of how they will be financially better of in full time work than claiming Universal Credits. We have found this a useful tool during appointments with our participants. Reviewed on: 20th March 2024

Provides very accurate results and very user friendly.

5
I have been a benefit adviser with Citizens Advice and Local Authorities for the past five years and have found Policy in Practise to always be the most clear and user friendly benefit check calculator, especially in such a complex area of advice. This is a tool I have used many times to help people check their eligibility and plan accordingly based on various scenarios - it is a huge help for myself and my client's.
