Quick, private estimates for common UK life questions. Everything runs in your browser — nothing you type is sent anywhere or stored. See all the figures we use & when we last checked them →
Estimates your statutory minimum redundancy pay under UK law (England, Wales & Scotland). Your employer may offer more under a contractual or enhanced scheme — check your contract or settlement offer for the actual figure.
Based on the statutory weekly pay cap of £751 and maximum payout of £22,530, in force from 6 April 2026 (Employment Rights (Increase of Limits) Order 2026). Figures are reviewed by the government every April — always confirm your exact entitlement with the official GOV.UK redundancy calculator or ACAS. This is not legal or financial advice.
Checks the basic gateway rules only (age, residency, savings). It cannot tell you how much you'd receive — that depends on your income, housing costs, children and other circumstances, so we deliberately don't guess a figure.
Some 16-17 year olds and some full-time students can still claim in specific circumstances (e.g. responsible for a child, care leaver, health condition) — this quick check can't cover every exception. For the definitive answer and to see what you'd actually receive, use the Turn2us Benefits Calculator or apply directly at gov.uk/apply-universal-credit. Citizens Advice can help for free. This is not financial advice.
Checks whether you meet the basic gateway rules to apply for PIP (age, condition duration, residency). It cannot predict your assessment outcome or award rate — that's decided by a health professional scoring 12 activities, which this tool doesn't attempt to simulate.
You also need to have lived in the UK for most of the last 3 years. State Pension age is currently 66. If these gateway checks pass, whether you actually qualify — and at what rate — depends entirely on a full assessment of how your condition affects you day-to-day, done by a health professional. Citizens Advice can help you fill in the PIP2 form for free. Apply at gov.uk/pip/how-to-claim. This is not medical or legal advice.
Works out when your next MOT is due, and lets you download a calendar reminder so you don't forget. Applies to standard cars and motorcycles — some vehicle types (taxis, ambulances etc.) need testing sooner.
Always double check with the official Check your MOT status tool, which is the authoritative record. Book your test at gov.uk/book-mot-test.
