voluntary maintenance

I pay £200 per month voluntary maintenance but am on state pension, I also have a private pension.
CSA calculator says Because I am on pension I should pay £5 per week but will they also take my private pension into account?

I think it is admirable of you to provide £200 per month for the upkeep of your child(ren).
Keep the CSA out of your life.0 -
As sensemaya syas it's great that you want to pay more for your child than the state says you should but if you find you are struggling you could always privately arrange for this amount to be reduced with the PWC, are you on amicable terms?0

With the OP's screen name of jackanory, made me reluctant to contribute to the thread
As you both state the calculator suggests a figure, is the OP wanting to pay less than they currently are doing?0 -

Not straight away, but if the PWC applied for a variation for income not taken into account, then they would if your private pension is more than £100/wk net. The calculators provided generally don't factor in variation grounds.I often use a tablet to post, so sometimes my posts will have random letters inserted, or entirely the wrong word if autocorrect is trying to wind me up. Hopefully you'll still know what I mean.0 -
Why are you posting? To contemplate reducing your contribution to £5? Why if you can afford to pay more since you have a private pension? Surely you children cost more than £10 each a week don't they?0
