Benefits Calculator

You, like many people, may be missing out on financial help that may be available to you through welfare benefits and tax credits - particularly if you are bringing up children, on a low income, are retired, have a disability or care for someone. To find out what you are entitled to you can contact our Welfare Benefits team or use the online benefits calculator.

Before you start the benefits calculator you may find it helpful to make sure you have income information for your household ready. This includes your rent information, yearly council tax bill, details of benefits, wage slips, maintenance received, savings, child care charges and any other benefits relating to disability/carers.

To use simply click here and fill out the form for an instant online Benefits estimate.

Remember this calculation is an estimate based on the information you supply. For a full evaluation make a formal claim asap. Usually Benefit will only start from the Monday after the Council receive your form.
