Progressive reductions: calculate how BPS and delinked payments will reduce

Payments from the Basic Payment Scheme (BPS) in England are reducing each year from 2021 until the end of the 2023 scheme year.

Delinked payments will replace BPS payments in England in 2024 and will reduce each year until these payments finish.

These reductions to BPS and delinked payments are known as progressive reductions.

Use the BPS calculator to get an estimate of how progressive reductions could affect your BPS payments from 2021 to 2023.

To receive delinked payments, you must have claimed, and been eligible for, BPS 2023 in England (except in some inheritance cases).

Use the delinked payments calculator to get an estimate of how progressive reductions could affect your delinked payment in 2024. This estimate is based on the progressive reduction figures proposed in our Agricultural Transition Plan, published in 2020.

Calculations should be quick and will not ask for personal information.

Call the Rural Payments helpline on 03000 200 301 if you need help using this calculator.

Defra and the Rural Payments Agency (RPA) will publish more information about reductions to delinked payments from 2025 to 2027 when it's available.

New schemes and grants are funded through the reductions to BPS and delinked payments.
