Budget Planning Tool

Our Family Finance Budgeting Tool is an exciting and easy to use online tool that can bring your household budget to life. Through the use of colour coded charts, you can see what portion of your spending is going where, and you can then put plans in place to organise your family budget.

How does it work?

  • Start by detailing your net monthly income, such as your salary and any other income sources if appropriate.
  • Next, itemise your expenditure, starting with your household spend and then continue for each of the other categories by clicking on each icon as appropriate.
  • As you input your information the tool will update to reflect your circumstances and will automatically calculate if you are in surplus or shortfall.
  • Use the analysis section to adjust your planned monthly spending to see how changes you make can impact on your family’s finances.

Government Budgeting Tool

Check what support may be available to you and your family

Managing your money can feel easier when you have a clear picture of your finances and any support you may be entitled to. Alongside our budgeting tools, you can use the Government’s free, independent and anonymous benefits calculator to get an estimate of what you could receive.

The calculator can help you understand:

  • which benefits you may be entitled to
  • how much you could receive
  • how your benefits may change if you start work or increase your hours
  • how your benefits may be affected if your circumstances change, for example if you have a child or move in with a partner
