Funding tools that need no login — and no learner data

Quick, public tools for everyday funding questions. Nothing you enter here is stored, and no personal learner data is required.

Funding calculator

Model 16–19, Adult Skills and apprenticeship funding against the live rule engine and get a fully itemised breakdown.

Allocation statement band calculator

Upload your 16–19 revenue funding allocation statement (PDF). We extract your retention factor, programme cost weighting and area cost allowance and show the funding per learner in every band — study programme bands 1–5 and T Level bands 5–9 — with a CSV/Excel export.

Allocation statement comparison

Upload two or more 16–19 allocation statements and see every change — funding lines, factors, student numbers and band rates — with gains and losses highlighted and an AI executive summary for SLT and governors. Export to CSV/Excel.

Allocation vs delivery tracker

Enter your allocation and delivery so far — see clawback, unfunded over-delivery and future-allocation risk early, with the funding mechanics applied per stream (16–19, ASF, apprenticeships).

Apprenticeship planner

Forecast apprenticeship income by month and academic year from planned starts, prices and durations — for curriculum and budget planning.

ILR Health Check

Validate an anonymised ILR export before you submit: eligibility, residency, EHCP, condition of funding, duplicates, dates and FRM-style checks — with a risk score, suggested fixes and the funding at risk.

Funding Maximisation

Find unclaimed funding from an anonymised export — disadvantage and learning-support uplifts, high-needs top-ups, adult full-funding entitlements, apprenticeship incentives and bursaries — each with an estimated value.

Eligibility checker

Answer a few questions about a learner and we'll route them to the right funding stream and flag what to check.

ASF Devolution Intelligence Centre

One workflow for devolution: check a postcode or town, explore newly devolved and announced areas by academic year, analyse an area's funding body and coverage, and export every postcode in a devolved area to CSV.

ILR return dates calendar

Download the ILR return deadlines (R01–R14) for the year as an iCal/.ics, with funding-claim timelines and in-year allocation-increase guidance for ASF, Free Courses for Jobs and Advanced Learner Loans.

FundingGPT assistant

Ask funding questions in plain English. Grounded in the rule engine and official guidance, and always cited.
