Benefits Calculator

If you’re struggling to make ends meet or you’ve had a change in circumstances and aren’t sure of the support you’re entitled to now, our benefits calculator can help.

Answer four simple questions for a quick estimate of how much you could boost your income by each month.

After that, it only takes a few minutes to enter more details and get a list of the benefits, payments or vouchers you could qualify for and how you can claim them.

Claiming benefits could mean you get government Cost of Living Payments, money towards your heating bills with Warm Home Discount, free school meals and grants to help with paying for school uniform.

Any information you put into the calculator is confidential and we don’t store it or share it with anyone else.

Our benefits calculator is to be used as a guide only. The calculator may give you details of benefits you are claiming already. For a full benefits check from a specialist near you, visit Advice LocalOpens in a new window
