can anyone work out our entitlement for tax credits?

Hi all,
My hubby starts work on Monday yippee! I am trying to work out what our entitlement might be for tax credits but after trying the different calculators I am getting very different figures. Can anyone else work it out please? :o
I work 32 hours per week last years income was £13368 this year it Will be about £17k
Hubby had no income last year but for this tax year it will work out last about £9843.
Childcare will be £213 PW averaged across the rest of this tax year from Mon 12th Aug.

Help much appreciated!

PS I am 31, hubby is 32 children are 6&3

    Thanks for the input so far.
    I've used entitled to and the calculator on the tax credits website and they both came out differently by about £40 there was one result at about £200.
    Just so worrying trying to prepare for the next few months when I don't have a real idea what our income will be.
    Still super pleased about his job as we've struggled along on my wage for a while now. Very proud of him as he has applied for so many and not got anywhere before this one.
