Policy in Practice Better Off Calculator reviews (380)

A good tool

4
We use the Better Off Calculator to help determine what people will receive in terms of benefit income related to housing costs. This is a very useful tool in assessing affordability to ensure we provide accurate tailored support to the individuals we are working with. Reviewed on: 22nd May 2025

Excellent service, great visual

We use this service all the time in our work and find it very useful to be able to demonstrate to our participants how much better off they could be by working and also the benefits that they could still be entitled to. Reviewed on: 22nd May 2025

Ten out of ten

I have used other benefit calculators and Policy in Practice is by far the best. It asks the right questions and you get a more accurate result. It makes by job much easier and less stressful. Reviewed on: 22nd May 2025

I use this tool regularly in my role as an employment advisor. I find that it is a great motivator for those people who believe they would be better off staying on benefits. The calculator allows us to compare their situation now with the situation they would be in if they started working. Reviewed on: 22nd May 2025

The benefit calculator is much more efficient than others I've historically used, more concise, less time consuming and I'd highly recommend it to be used by others Reviewed on: 22nd May 2025

Game changer if you work with clients on benefits.

5
Game changer if you work with clients on benefits. Very useful to ensure residents are getting everything they are entitled to. Quick, easy, accessible to use - very user friendly. Just type in their financial details and situation and you get a breakdown of what they could be getting compared to how much they currently are getting. Reviewed on: 22nd May 2025
