How accurate is entitledto.com?

I have a interview next week and have plugged the figures into entitledto.com and am sure something isn't right.

The salary is £14500 per year. I have 2 children.

Entitledto is saying i will be eligible for the following:

WTC £148.16 per week
CTC £113.68 per week
CTB £3.37 per week
HB £108.36 per week.

Childcare costs will be £183 per week. Add my wages and CM from childrens father and its a large income that seems big enough that I have made a mistake when putting in the figures.

Does it look right to those in the know?!

The job is full time 9-5.30 Monday to Friday. Concerned its to high. My monthly incomings will exceed just over £3600 a month.

Sounds too good to be true ? Usually it is, but not in this instance. Fill your boots I say, it probably would last as long as the country can borrow money, maybe till 2014, and then the IMF will step in and god know what will happen next.

You can double check it using the one on this site - found under family income tab top right, hover mouse over that and then move over to ledt side. It is top link. fill that in and see if outcome is same.

So now you know. Go for it.

don't forget that part of the reason it's so high is because they don't take child maintenance into account. So, theoretically, you could be getting 10k a month from CM and you'd still be entitled to it. As others have said though, not sure it will last long, so might be worth trying to save as much as you can now. Although be aware of savings limit for some benefits.

I think it's exactly the same calculator, just badged for MSE, so the figures would come out the same.

Oh wait - it's coming out of my pocket in taxes.:j:j:j
