                    I am trying to fill in my self assessment, I was looking at my bank account for the amount of child benefit I get per month for my 2 kids.
It comes to just over £134 a month, times this by 12 = £1608.
Yet according to the calculator on the HMRC website it says the benefit I should get is £1752 (which is 13 months).
Am I missing something?

            Child benefit is paid every four weeks so yes 13 payments per year.neilbhatia wrote: »I am trying to fill in my self assessment, I was looking at my bank account for the amount of child benefit I get per month for my 2 kids.

            I am sure it is paid every four weeks, not once a month, this gives you 13 payments a year.0
