How often pages are reviewed
Pages are reviewed when GOV.UK rates change, when scheme rules change, or before a new tax year starts. Review dates are shown on key guides and calculators so visitors can see when figures were last checked.
What the calculators can do
The calculators are designed for planning estimates. They can help you compare broad scenarios, understand likely pressure points and decide what to check next.
What they cannot do
Family Money Helper provides planning estimates and general information only. It is not financial, tax, benefits, legal, employment or payroll advice. Always check your own employer policy, payslips, childcare provider quotes, GOV.UK guidance and qualified advisers where needed.
