This Universal Credit calculator is designed to help you estimate your potential Universal Credit entitlement. By entering your personal circumstances, such as your age, whether you’re making a joint claim, the number of children you have, childcare costs, any limited capability for work, carer’s element, housing costs, and earnings, the calculator will provide an estimate of your total entitlement, any deductions, and your final Universal Credit amount. No details from this calculator are saved either by this website or your computer.
The calculator automatically updates as you input information, providing immediate feedback on how changes to your circumstances might affect your claim. It includes up-to-date rates for standard allowances, child elements, childcare costs, and work capability elements. It also factors in the work allowance and taper rate to give you a comprehensive overview of your potential Universal Credit payment.
Please note that this is only an estimate and the actual amount you receive may vary based on your individual circumstances and the assessment made by the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP).
