Your Fairer Charge

You may be charged for services you receive at home. Your local authority will level this charge after calculating a Fairer Charge for you.
If your Fairer Charge is not set your local authority will charge you the full cost of your care.

This application calculates your fairer charge. It is an anonymous facility, it does not record your visit or keep a record of your entry.
This is to ensure that you can calculate your fairer charge independently, for example you may want this information prior to being visited by your local authority or you may want to check your current charge.


Example: my calculation sets my Fairer Charge at £25.00, what does this mean?
The Fairer Charge is the maximum amount the authority can charge you per week for the services you recieve.

(i) So, if your authority charge £10 per hour for care and you receive 2 hours of care per week the cost of the care is
£10 x 2 = £20
As your fairer charge has been calculated to be £25.00 per week you will be charged £20.00 per week.

(ii) If your authority charge £10 per hour and you receive 5 hours of care per week the cost of the care is
£10 x 5 = £50
As your fairer charge has been calculated to be £25.00 per week you will be charged £25.00 per week.

Remember, however much care you receive you cannot be charged more than your Fairer Charge
