Mine said £875.00 better off. It was interesting to see though, I did two calculations, at the moment I am a SAHM and my OH works, if we carried on this way we would be £875.00 better off, if I worked for 20 hours a week in a shop on the min wage for example, we could be £525.00 better off. As I can't afford childcare for my children during the school holidays and the tax credit system working it out over 52 weeks instead of the actual 13 weeks, which means we are not entitled to any help, it pays for me to stay at home..thanks Alistar, looks like home cooking for another couple of years then.


It's madness, it doesn't pay for me to work...where's the logic in that?

HAHAHAHAHA I'll believe it when I see it as last time I used the 'entitled to' calculator my estimated tax credits for the coming year dropped by over 50%.

Hats off to Mr Darling, an extra £50 on the winter fuel payments and yet how much has the cost of heating a home risen in the last few months??? I'm betting it's more than £50!

Hmmm, so using this years calculator, Next year, the indications are that I will be £49.19 worse off. Does that mean I am now £100/year worse off than 2006.

This year's calculator must have a fault with it, it's no way right
