The minimum wage is rising this week for all basic-rate workers ahead of the new tax year as the cost of living crisis continues to hit households in the UK.
Changes about to hit your wallet include new council tax rates, a £150 rebate, a shake-up of Royal Mail stamps and your last chance to claim a winter fuel payment.
There are also student loan changes coming into force and changes to air fares and the new energy price cap which affects almost every single household in the country.
