Our online benefits calculator can help you see if you are entitled to extra benefits
You can use our free benefits indicator or our benefits calculator to check what extra benefits you could claim.
Benefits indicator
The benefits indicator is a short version of the main calculator. It takes about 30 seconds to complete. The indicator lets you know which benefits you might be able to claim. You can then continue to complete the full calculator form, if you wish.
Benefits calculator
The benefits calculator is a longer form which will give you more detailed information on benefits you could claim.
This will give you an estimate of:
- the benefits you could get
- how much your benefit payments could be
- how your benefits will change if you start work or increase your hours
- how your benefits will change if your circumstances change, for example, if you have a child or move in with your partner
What you will need
You will need accurate information about your:
- savings
- income, including your partner’s (from payslips, for example)
- existing benefits and pensions (including anyone living with you)
- outgoings (such as rent, mortgage, childcare payments)
- council tax bill
