Frequently asked questions
How do I fill it in?
Type into the boxes on screen in Adobe Acrobat Reader, Apple Preview, Edge, Chrome or Firefox, then save. Or print it and write by hand.
Will it work on my phone?
You can read it on a phone. Filling in works best on a laptop or tablet, because some phone PDF apps don't support form boxes.
Can I print it?
Yes. Print as many copies as your household needs.
How do updates work?
Updates come at no extra cost in your Gumroad library. What changed is listed on our updates page.
Is it UK-specific?
Yes, unless it says US or Europe edition. UK numbers are pre-filled, with Northern Ireland alternatives where they differ.
Is this official?
No. We're an independent UK site, not affiliated with the UK Government. We follow official advice and link to every source.
What's your refund?
30-day refund. If it isn't right for your household, email [email protected] within 30 days of purchase and we'll refund you in full. No form, no questions beyond 'what didn't work?' so we can improve it.
Can I share it with family?
Use it for your own household and print as many copies as you need. Other households need their own copy.
30-day refund. If it isn't right for your household, email [email protected] within 30 days of purchase and we'll refund you in full. No form, no questions beyond 'what didn't work?' so we can improve it.

Plan Pack, or the whole household?
