Universal Credit estimator
Get a rough estimate of your monthly Universal Credit, including the standard allowance, amounts for children and how your earnings reduce your payment.
How this is worked out
We add your standard allowance, any child elements and your rent to get a maximum amount. If you work, we ignore earnings up to your work allowance and reduce the award by the taper rate on the rest. This is an estimate: several elements and caps are not included, and they are listed with the result.
