    Try here, its been updated for 2011/12

    https://www.turn2us.entitledto.co.uk

    As a basic calculation I have worked it to be:-

    Working Tax Credits - Nil
    Child Tax Credits - £3625 pa = £69.34 per week

    Hope this helps

    Hi,

    Is their a higher element for a first child?

    I earn 17.5k and for 1 child it shows

    Working Tax Credit - £2.30 pw & CTC £59.36 pw.

    My wife is expecting and 2nd baby is due end of May. If I select 2 childrens then it shows:-

    Working Tax Credit - £2.30 pw & CTC £108.29 pw. So basically £48.93 pw extra for another child.

    MS

    In effect as there's a family element which you get one of, and a child element per child.

    There was an extra £10 pw ish for children under 1 which is being removed from April
    Forums can be/are a good guide to entitlement and it is good practice to back it up with clarification from the relevant department/specialist with written confirmation to safeguard yourself.
