Working Tax Credits Calculator Help

-MRS_T-

I am totally confused I really dont understand all this number stuff percentages etc and what the thresholds are etc.

You have explained really well its just me I swear im illiterate with numbers lol

I was just trying to play about with the online calculator to work out if I upped my childcare if I would get extra help as If I dont I cant afford it.
Its really hard and im surprised we dont get more help than £40 per month when others I speak to seem to get loads.

I am actually better off working part time as I would come out with the same money because of the childcare costs I have to pay with this job. My previous job was shifts and I am getting made redundant at the end of the month and I got this job full time. Was hoping their would be other part time jobs available but there wasnt so I have to take this job or be jobless and I dont want to risk turning it down incase I do not get anything else part time.

I will double check our p60 when they come in as I have guestimated our salaries this year because hubby has worked so much ot.

Anyway its a long term plan as opposed to short term this job as my son will go to school in 2 years so we will have to work something out.

I really appreciate your help with this and taking the time to work it all out for me.
