## The problem
Many small clubs and charities miss out on valuable funds due to unclaimed Gift Aid. This can happen when records are incomplete or declarations are not collected. If your organisation has been leaving donations unclaimed, you could be losing out on 25 pence for every eligible pound donated by a UK taxpayer. This adds up over time, and for some clubs, it could mean several hundred pounds a year.
## How it works
The Gift Aid calculator is a tool designed to help you estimate the potential Gift Aid your organisation could claim. It takes into account the donations you have received and calculates the amount of relief you could be entitled to. This is particularly useful for planning purposes, helping you understand the financial impact of Gift Aid on your club or charity.
To use the calculator, you simply input the total amount of eligible donations. The calculator then applies the current HMRC basic-rate relief to provide an estimate. Remember, this is a rough estimate for planning and not a formal claim.
