Online benefits calculator

With the impact of welfare reform soon to be realised, members can purchase an up-to-date online benefits calculator for housing associations to help staff and tenants easily calculate an individual’s benefit entitlement.

Prices reduced by 50% for members until February 2013

From April 2013 the Government plans to restrict the level of housing benefit for tenants living in accommodation that is too big for their needs. Entitledto provides a self-service website to help tenants find out if they are affected and the options available to deal with any reduction.

Entitledto provides sophisticated online benefit calculators to housing associations including:

  • a self-service calculator (public calculator)
  • a calculator devised for use by advisers (adviser calculator)

Entitledto's calculators produce accurate benefit calculations for:

  • Housing benefit
  • Council tax benefit
  • Pension credit
  • Income support
  • Jobseeker’s Allowance
  • Employment and Support Allowance
  • Tax credits

The calculator can also identify eligibility for a range of other allowances and benefits and includes full management reporting.
