Local Housing Allowance Room Calculator

Bedroom entitlement calculator for your Local Housing Allowance category

In each area there will be 5 or 6 weekly LHA rates (in categories A to F), so before you look up your weekly LHA amount (it should be on your local council's website) you need to know your LHA category and this depends by the number of bedrooms appropriate for your household (you, your family and others who live with you). So to find the right number of bedrooms for you, just select the circumstances which describe you (and your family, if any) on the lists below and let the program work it out.

Otherwise, use the boxes below to describe the number of people in your slightly more complex household and get an answer up to the maximum of 5 bedrooms.
