Wed 05-Nov-08 02:43 PM

Our benefits calculator seems to have had a labotomy!! And i have lost the skill of how to do a tax credit calculation using my brain alone

Would anyone be able to run the following scenrio through theirs for me please?

Single parent aged 28, two kids aged 7 and 2.

Works 37 hours per week and earns £28,000 per year. (same last year)

£150 per week child care costs for one child.

Just want tax credit figures please.

I would be eternally grateful if someone can do this for me.

Thank you!

Nicky

You could always go to Entitled to (http://www.entitledto.co.uk/default.aspx?sid=4&cid=db0d7df6-c448-4c05-ad74-627eda1436ac)

which will confirm your figures.
