About UK Money Tools

UK Money Tools provides calculators for mortgage costs, property purchase taxes, childcare costs and household budgets. The tools help you compare planning scenarios using figures you enter.

How the tools work

Each calculator explains its assumptions, exclusions and sources. Supporting content and form definitions are maintained alongside the calculation code. Rates and rules are dated where applicable, and calculator pages distinguish manual review dates from automated source checks.

Using an estimate

Results are planning estimates, not personalised financial advice, a mortgage offer or confirmation of benefit eligibility. Check official guidance, your provider or an appropriate adviser before making a decision. Source links do not imply endorsement by the organisations named.
