I did a quick check on http://www.telegraph.co.uk/finance/personalfinance/how-budget-affect-me/11721785/Budget-2015-what-to-expect-for-income-tax-and-the-personal-allowance.html
You will be - £2056.20 worse off
It looks like this..
2 kids for the unemployed and massive hit to the working people.
Massive hit on the low earners.. but we do have a £7.20 living wage that is rubbish.. it should have been £9 now. make these company's pay a proper wage, if you had this you would not need tax credits for working people.
Personally, Ill take the 2k loss, but tax the OAP's too.. we are not all in this together.
We are definitely not all in this together, cuts to the poorly paid, children and public sector workers, while mp's get a 10% payrise.
Hardly fair is it.

Treasury report on budget.
Page 46 '1.166'.
'Parents of a 3 year old child (including lone parents) will be expected to look for work'.
when will expected be switched to forced?
Yes, you do get 30 hours of paid care but that's only in term time. how many employers will allow you to take off 16 weeks you wont get paid for?
Of course they have just been given 30 hours free childcare so in effect lowering the school age from 5 to 3 so makes perfect sense
Its not that simple is it?
