Better off calculator software programme?
Wed 12-May-04 03:52 PM

Can anyone recommend a reliable and comprehensive calculator system which takes into account Tax Credit entitlements, reduction of Housing and Council Tax Benefit, loss of mortgage interest and possible loss of partner's benefit entitlements?
Has anyone had some experience of the Jobcentre Plus calculator? Does it take all circumstances into account?
Any advice welcome
Thanks

We've found the Lissom Grove program to be very good. They have a website (just do a google search on Lissom Grove cos I can't remember the address). Also, I think you can get training on how to use it from an organisation caleed (I think) Square Training or something like that.

If the Lissom Grove guys are reading this, maybe they will give us a discount for the plug!

We also use Lissom Grove - we find it user friendly, it gives easy to understand printouts which can also be pasted into other docs.

Ring Jon blackwell on 01273 711 736 - you'll find them very helpful.

Was that alright Jon ...what about that discount then.................

Well thank you all. In fact Mike Shermer got back first and I am running a trial CD right now. It is excellent. Greatly appreciated.
