Benefits calculators
Benefits calculators will confirm what benefits you’re entitled to based on your
circumstances. Before starting you will need to have accurate information about your:
- savings
- income, including your partner’s (from payslips, for example)
- existing benefits and pensions (including anyone living with you)
