Estimated read time: 3 mins
Every year, billions of pounds in benefits and financial support go unclaimed in the UK. Many people either don’t know they qualify, assume they won’t or find the whole system too complicated.
It might not be relevant to you, but if you are struggling with everyday costs – from rent and bills to childcare – you could be missing out on money that’s rightfully yours. And if you’re already claiming benefits, it’s a good idea to check you’re getting as much as you’re entitled to. This is especially important if any of the following apply to your household:
- You earn less than £60,000 a year
- You rent your home
- You have dependent children
- You have a disability
- You care for someone
We’re always looking to make sure we’ve got your back when it comes to your finances. So, one of the first things we can do is help you check you’re not missing out on support you’re eligible for.
Wherever you are in the UK, our free benefits calculator makes it simple to see what you may be able to claim.
- Fast – it takes 5-10 minutes
- Personalised – see which benefits, discounts and other support apply to your situation
- Private – your results are anonymous and confidential, and we don’t use your info for any other purpose than helping you claim benefits you’re entitled to

What you'll need before you start
Having a few details to hand will make your results more accurate:

Just to confirm, the results will be an estimate. Actual entitlements may vary depending on final assessments.
