Paying Rent
Welcome to the Rent and Housing Benefit Calculator
IF YOU HAVE SUPPORT CHARGES INCLUDED IN YOUR RENT THIS CALCULATOR DOES NOT ACCOUNT FOR THESE CHARGES.
Please contact the Income Services Team on 0300 100 1012 with any queries you may have.
Or contact us using the online form.
To use these calculations you will need to know your monthly rent and any weekly Housing Benefit award that is being paid direct to Westcountry. If you are already receiving Housing Benefit this information can be found on your Westcountry rent/charges statement.

If you have just been awarded Housing Benefit and have received a notification letter from the council, you will need to know your rent to compare with any Housing Benefit you have been awarded.
Please note that these calculations will not work out your entitlement to Housing Benefit and only the local authority can calculate your entitlement.
