Calculate your Housing Benefits

Find out what support you might be able to get to help with your living costs.

Benefit calculators can help you find out what you’re entitled to.

Please keep in mind:

• The amount you receive may be affected by the benefit cap
• If you are working age you may not be able to claim Housing Benefit. Instead you will have to make a claim for Universal Credit if you need help to pay your rent

You’ll need accurate information about:

• Savings
• Income, including your partner’s (from payslips, for example)
• Existing benefits and pensions (including anyone living with you)
• Council Tax bill
• Rent agreement
• Childcare payments
