ON-LINE BENEFITS CALCULATOR

Alternatively you can check for any benefits that you may qualify for by using this on-line tool. This tool is available anytime night or day, 365 days a year - so you can find out right now what you want to know. Your information is confidential and you can specify any name that you wish. You can do the following -

  • check which benefits you may be able to get
  • get an estimate of the benefits, tax credits or pension that may be available
  • compare estimates if your situation changes
  • download/print results for reference

Before you start

Be prepared to answer a lot of detailed questions and go through quite a lot of screens. Because the benefits system is complicated you will need to supply any amounts that you already receive precisely to ensure the final figures are correct.

Gather together any books, payment figures or advice letters you already have.

Once you have everything together click on the link below and it will open in a new window.

Once you have completed all the questions you will be able to print out the results to keep for yourself or for others to see, including the benefits office.
