About AU Benefits Calc

AU Benefits Calc is written by Radif Partners, a small independent publisher of free calculators built on published government rules. This site exists for one reason: an Australian household that turns to Centrelink after a birth, a separation, a lost job or retirement usually qualifies for several payments at once, and nobody adds them up for it. Services Australia publishes an estimator per payment; most private calculators copy that model.

What this site does better than the first search result

It applies every payment to the same household in one go: Family Tax Benefit Parts A and B, Child Care Subsidy, Rent Assistance and the main payment of each adult, with the rules that tie them together, at the rates indexed on 20 September 2026. The 11 calculators and 11 worked households share one engine, so the full Age Pension of $1,237.70 a fortnight or the 72-hour child care floor is the same number everywhere it appears.

Where the figures come from

From the Guides to Social Policy Law kept by the Department of Social Services: the Social Security Guide for pensions, allowances, Rent Assistance and the income and assets tests, the Family Assistance Guide for Family Tax Benefit and Child Care Subsidy, and the Paid Parental Leave Guide. Copies of every section read are stored with the code, and each page lists the sections it relies on. The method page sets out the formulas and the tests the engines pass.

What we do not do

We are not Services Australia, Centrelink or a government body, and we cannot see, lodge or change a claim. We do not ask for a name, a Centrelink reference number or an email address, and nothing typed into a calculator leaves your browser. No lender, buy-now-pay-later provider or migration agent pays to appear here.

Funding

The site is free and has no advertising today. If advertising is added, it will never sit above a calculator and will never read what you enter.

Reporting a mistake

If your Centrelink statement or a letter gives a different amount, write to contact@aubenefitscalc.com with the share link of your calculation and the figure you were given. Confirmed errors are corrected in the parameter file or the engine, turned into a test, and the page shows its new reading date. See also the editorial policy and the legal notice.
