The platform is very user friendly and the provision of direct links to online applicationforms etc is time saving for a busy benefits adviser. Reviewed on: 15th May 2026

I refer both members of the public and other members of staff to policy in practice because it is easy to use and helps people understand financial implications of moving to another property or changes in their household or income Reviewed on: 11th May 2026

The Better Off Calculator was really easy to use and gave me a clear idea of how my finances could change depending on my situation. I liked how simple the questions were and how quickly it showed the results. It’s a helpful tool for planning ahead and understanding what support or benefits might be available.

Scenario based financial forcasting and Money advice

4
The Calculator is good and is great how you can create different scenarios with clients to make sure that they are making the best financial descions for their households. However the system is expensive in comparison to other platforms and is not always accurate and while the team are very open to feedback, they are not benefit experts, so do not always understand some compleities when calculating some benefit entitlements Reviewed on: 28th April 2026
