What calculators does Funding Fox include?
Funding Fox includes an OTJT (off-the-job training) calculator, apprenticeship levy calculator, TNP (Total Negotiated Price) calculator, co-investment calculator, change of employer calculator, financial health assessment tool, and Apps monthly payment calculator.

Upload your ILR data file and Funding Fox analyses it entirely in your browser (no data leaves your device, ensuring GDPR compliance). It flags DLOCK errors, validates funding line values, checks employer co-investment calculations, and highlights discrepancies between your ILR and DAS records.
What official documents does the AI search?
The AI searches the complete set of current DfE funding rules, apprenticeship funding and performance management rules, ESFA financial health assessment guidance, ILR specification documents, and all related annexes and updates. Documents are scraped daily from GOV.UK and re-indexed automatically.
Can I use Funding Fox for compliance audits?
Yes. Funding Fox provides structured compliance checklists covering learner eligibility, evidence requirements, funding claims, and programme delivery. Each checklist item links to the relevant funding rule paragraph so you can verify requirements against official sources.
