Online Benefits Calculator
You can use the Benefits calculator to see if you are eligible for Housing Benefit and/or Council Tax Benefit and receive
an estimate of how much benefit you are likely to receive.
The calculator also features an automatic in-line Tax Credit calculation (if appropriate) for Working Tax Credit, Child
Tax Credit and Pension Credit.
Millions of £’s in Housing Benefit and Council Tax Benefit goes unclaimed every year; if you do not already receive
benefit and think you may qualify you should apply NOW.
Please remember that this calculator is there as an approximate guide only, and that for a full and thorough calculation,
you will need to complete and return a formal application.
If you want to make a claim for Housing Benefit and/or Council Tax Benefit you can pick up a claim form from the Benefits
reception at the Council Offices in Narborough, the Joint Service shop in Blaby or the Civic Centre in Braunstone. Or ring
our Benefits Team on (0116) 272 7510, we will be happy to send you an application form and answer any other benefit queries
you may have.
If you rent your property from a private landlord your entitlement will be calculated using Local Housing Allowance rates,
so as well as using the online Benefits Calculator you will also need to use the Local Housing Allowance calculator.
