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.

Policy in Practice Better Off Calculator reviews (496)

Easy to use and straightforward.

Easy to use and straightforward. I enjoy using it with my customers to help explain and physically break down barriers. This helps to show a visual of what they maybe entitled to and how it can help them moving forwards. You can also use it to show future progression and how they can be benefitted through promotions and future changes to their earnings. Reviewed on: 7th April 2026
