Work from home tax relief made simple – calculate your allowance now

Quickly find out how much you can claim for working from home. Enter your details and get your allowance in seconds.

Understand what you’re entitled to in seconds

Working from home often means higher bills for heating, electricity and broadband. HMRC offers a tax-free allowance to help cover these costs, but figuring out what you can claim isn’t always clear. Our calculator does the hard work for you, giving you a quick, reliable estimate so you know exactly where you stand.

How does the allowance work?

The work from home allowance is designed to cover extra household costs when you work remotely. HMRC lets you claim a fixed amount per day or per week, depending on your situation. You don’t need receipts, and it won’t affect your tax code. It’s a simple way to make sure you’re not out of pocket for doing your job from home.

Who can claim?

You can claim if:

  • You work from home regularly
  • Your employer doesn’t reimburse your costs
  • You pay income tax in the UK

Find out how much you could save

We'll only calculate your tax deduction for the months you worked from home.

Include your ‘main’ rooms, like bedrooms, living rooms and kitchens (but not hallways or bathrooms).

Include any that you use for work on a regular basis

For example, if you work 8 hours a day, 2 days a week, that's 16 hours.

For example, if you use the room(s) 3 hours a day, 7 days a week for personal use, that's 21 hours.

'Qualifying' work from home expenses include:

  • Mortgage Interest

  • Rent

  • Council Tax

  • Gas & Electric

  • Broadband & Phone

  • Cleaning

  • Household Insurance
