But the tax credits and child benefit are not taxed so my net and somebody else with 32k gross might be very different.
How about the money I make by maxing out the mortgage and putting the money into a savings AC which pays a higher rate? Should I just estimate the net on this?

Income consists of wage (21 hrs @nmw) + basic state pension + private pension. Sole additional benefit is 25% single-person ct discount.0 -

It's gross income. ie, before tax and including any other income.“The great enemy of the truth is very often not the lie – deliberate, contrived, and dishonest – but the myth, persistent, persuasive, and unrealistic.
