What the Better Off Calculator Does

• Shows how your benefits may change if you start a job

• Gives you a breakdown of what you would take home each month
• Helps you avoid being worse off financially
• Supports you to make a confident, informed choice about work

How You Can Use It

You can complete the Better Off calculation independently, or you can do it with the support of your coach, who can guide you through each step and help you understand the results.

Why It’s Important

Transitioning from benefits into employment can feel like a big step. Your coach can help you see the full picture, including:

• Whether you will be better off financially
• Consider important costs such as travel, childcare, or work‑related expenses
• If your benefits will change
• How different working hours might affect your income
• The wider benefits of work, such as routine, confidence, social connections and opportunities to progress

Even if the financial gain is small, the social and wellbeing benefits of work can make a big difference , but the key is that you have all the information you need to choose what’s right for you.
