The more that comes in, the more in benefits you lose.
100% up to 90% = you keep 10%

Bear in mind that was based on the specific circumstances expressed - i.e. where a claimant is

a) already earning enough to pay tax/NI; AND
b) is entitled to BOTH HB/CTB.

For example, if a claimant doesn't pay rent, the 65% HB taper doesn't come into play. Also, the respective 20% (CTB) and HB tapers stop applying as soon as income is too high to qualify for the respective benefits.
