Benefits Calculator

Our Benefits Calculator can help you find out which benefits and financial support you might be entitled to as a single parent. It’s free, simple to use and completely confidential, so none of your personal details will be shared.

Why use our Benefits Calculator?

Our Benefits Calculator is quick, free and completely confidential. It helps you check what benefits and financial help you can get, so you can make informed decisions for your family’s wellbeing.

Using the calculator can help you:

• Increase your income by finding out about benefits you may be entitled to
• Plan finances with a clearer understanding of your circumstances
• Have peace of mind knowing you’re not missing out on support that could make things a bit easier

It’s still worth checking even if you’re already getting benefits, because new benefits might be available for you or your situation might have changed.

Before you begin

To get the most accurate results, it’s a good idea to have information ready about:

• your income
• any savings
• rent or mortgage costs
• childcare costs
• any existing benefits you or your family get

The calculation should take around 10 minutes to complete and you can save your progress to return to it later if you need to.

Please note that:

• The calculator is provided in partnership with EntitledTo
• Your details are kept anonymous, but you can save your results so you can share them with our team for further tailored advice and support if needed

If you have any questions while using our calculator, or if you’d rather speak to someone directly, you can choose to have a benefit check done over the phone with us and we will send your results directly to you. We’re here to ensure you get all the support you’re entitled to.
