Our benefits calculator

We have introduced a new benefits calculator to help you access benefits and help that you may not be currently claiming.

Did you know?

An estimated £22.7 billion in benefits and discounts is unclaimed across the UK every year. This means there are many eligible people who are missing out on financial support that could help them to make ends meet.

Our benefits calculator can help you to identify potential benefits, discounts, and social tariffs that you may be eligible for, and provide guidance on how to claim them.

The calculator covers a wide range of benefits, including:

  • Pension Credit
  • Council Tax reduction
  • Housing Benefit
  • Universal Credit
  • Child Benefit
  • Working Tax Credit

In addition to benefits, the calculator can also help you to find discounts on:

  • energy bills
  • water bills
  • council tax
  • home insurance
  • mobile phone contracts

The calculator also provides direct access to a range of support services in North Somerset and across the UK.

How to use our benefits calculator

To use our benefits calculator, simply follow these steps you'll need to answer the questions about your circumstances. 

Our calculator will generate a list of potential benefits, discounts, and social tariffs that you may be eligible for. Follow the link for each benefit to find out about it and how you can claim it.

You should contact the support services directly to access the services you require.

Our benefits calculator is available in multiple languages using the Google Translate function.
