This estimator is based on annual figures and may not be accurate for people whose circumstances change during a tax year. It is to provide an estimate so you can work out what pattern of working would be financially best for you, it is not suitable for checking award notices. This estimator will work for the majority of people but seek specialist advice if you recieve Pension Credits, have significant non-employment income or income from abroad, have immigration restrictions or have an overpayment outstanding. Seek advice before asking for Tax Credits to be paid on a "current year income" basis as you risk an overpayment and it can affect other means tested benefits.

An estimator of this nature can only provide general guidance. It should not be used as a substitute for independent advice. While every effort has been made to ensure the accuracy of its content, we cannot be held responsible for any errors.
