Using the Better Off Calculator: A Hands-On Assessment

I used the Better Off Calculator to compare income from employment with income from benefits, aiming to understand the financial impact of taking on a part-time job. The tool was straightforward to use, with step-by-step questions that guided me through entering details about income, housing, children, and benefits. One of the most helpful features was how it broke down my total income, showing exactly how much came from wages, how much from benefits, and how different scenarios (like working more hours or increasing rent) would change my financial situation. It gave me a clearer picture of how work would affect things like Universal Credit and Council Tax Reduction. Overall, it was a valuable tool that helped me feel more confident in making decisions. I would also recommend using it alongside advice from a benefits adviser if your situation is complex. Reviewed on: 14th May 2025
