Cost of Living Support Calculator
To help you understand which schemes, benefits or support you might be able to access, we have an ‘Entitled To’ calculator. This form takes about 10-15 minutes to complete and will ask you information about your income, home and family. Once complete, it will tell you what you are entitled to, so you can look for the right scheme in our Cost of Living Hub.
