Care contribution calculator
Care contribution calculator
This calculator gives an indication of what you might pay if you have care and support while living at home. If you are thinking of moving into a care home, please visit: Paying for a care home | Nottinghamshire County Council
Most people will have to pay something towards the cost of their care and support.
-
If you have savings and capital over £23,250 you will be asked to pay the full amount of the cost of your support. This is called being a self-funder.
-
If you have savings between £14,250 and £23,250, you will be asked to pay your financial assessment amount towards the cost of your support from your income and savings.
-
If you have savings below £14,250, you will be asked to pay your financial assessment amount from your income only. You can use our Care Contribution Calculator to give you an indication of the contribution you may be asked to make.
You will need
Financial information about your income and savings.
If you are part of a couple and you have combined savings these should be added together. The Care Contribution Calculator will then divide this by two to calculate the amount we will use to determine what savings you have. If you have more than one account for each of the types listed, please add the balances together and enter the total figure.
What will happen next
Based on the information you provide about your income and savings the Care Contribution Calculator will give you an estimate of the financial assessment amount.
The financial assessment amount that the Care Contribution Calculator gives is intended as a guide only and is not confirmation of the exact amount you may be asked to pay.
We may be able to support you to meet your care and support needs without the need to consider paid for care. If you would like to talk about this, please contact our Customer Services Centre on 0300 500 8080.
