Unlike NHS services, Adult Social Care is rarely free. How much you pay depends on your personal financial situation, including your income and savings. In general, the more you have, the more you may need to contribute towards your care.
To help you get an idea of possible costs, we’ve created a simple online calculator. You can use it to see what you, or the person you care for, might need to pay and whether financial support could be available.
Please note this is only a guide. You won’t know the exact amount you’ll pay or if you qualify for financial support until you complete a full financial assessment.
For the most accurate estimate, it’s helpful to have details of your finances ready, such as income, benefits, pensions, savings, assets, and essential expenses.
