How the games work

Every answer in these games comes from the same sums as our calculators, using the 2026/27 rates from GOV.UK and official house price data. After each guess you can open the full working and check it.

The games need no sign-up and store nothing on your device. A game takes a few minutes, and you can play again straight away.

They make good starting points for a conversation about money, at home, in a classroom or in a team meeting. If you want to work out your own figures instead, the calculators page lists every tool on the site.
