Why not use;

Use the calculator to add different values to see what comes out best.

When you have a firm plan, take that plan to CAB or to JCP or to your local Council and get someone to check it for you to make sure it's right.

Once you are 100% happy your figures all work, find that job and make the change.

May also be a good idea to look at how things come across, always very important when looking for a job :-)
