Use the Care Calculator.
A two-minute tool that gives a working sense of what care could cost and how the Plan would meet those costs. No obligation, your details stay private, you decide what to do next.
An indicative working figure, plus a Plan outline.
The calculator returns an indicative figure for what care could cost over different timescales (typical residential, typical care at home, dementia-track long-horizon), and a working illustration of how the Plan would meet those costs.
The figure is indicative, not a quote. Every real Plan is built from the actual care needs assessment and your family’s circumstances; the calculator gives you the shape of the answer before a phone call.
You’ll also see a short Plan outline document tailored to the figures you entered. Save it, share it with your family, take it to a solicitor, or call us to discuss. There is no obligation at any point.
What this calculator is not. It is not financial advice. It is not a quote. It does not commit you to a Plan. CHIP is not an FCA-regulated product. For regulated financial advice, your family should speak to an authorised independent financial adviser.
The conversation that turns the numbers into a Plan.
Most families finish the calculator with more specific questions, not fewer. The next step is a short call with someone who can answer them directly.
