This calculator is a new feature that will allow anyone to see how much Housing Benefit (including the new Local Housing Allowance) or Council Tax Benefit they may be entitled to.

The link below will take you through the process by asking you to a number of questions about your household and financial circumstances to arrive at a fully worked calculation of your entitlement to Housing Benefit (help with paying your rent) and Council Tax Benefit (help with paying your Council Tax).

You can save your calculation at any point and return to it later. This is useful, for example, if you find you haven't got all the information to hand that you need and you have to go and find your wage slips etc. The system allows you to pick your own password so that only you can bring up the claim details you have entered. Please keep a note of the reference number you are given and the password you have chosen if you do save your calculation.
 
The calculator has a help facility on each screen in case you are not sure what to put in a particular field.

The calculation process is completely anonymous as no details of any names are held.

If you want to cancel the calculation at any time (without saving it), simply click on the Derbyshire Dales logo in the top left of the screen and you will be taken back to the Derbyshire Dales website homepage.
