Benefit calculator reliability

How reliable are the three benefits calculators provided on the government website, Turn2us, entitledto and policy in practice? I get slightly different results with the policy in practice one compared to turn2us and entitled to.

I have not used the policy in practice calculator, but I have used the other two and found them to be reliable as long as information is given / entered correctly. They will only ever be as good as the information they are given.

I always say they are only as reliable as the information you put into them. I get the same results which ever one i use. It's always advised to use a couple.

PolicyinPractice I find the easiest to use but it is not, in my opinion, as accurate as entitledto or turn2us.Information I post is for England unless otherwise stated. Some rules may be different in other parts of UK.2

IMHO its a case of GIGO (garbage in garbage out), not having a go OP simply saying that in all cases you have to put the correct info in.1

Thanks for all your comments. I do find the entitledto and turn2us better to use and both give the same results. Policy one gives me a different result. Thanks again 👍.0
