Tax credits 2nd job. Confused!

Hi, first post not too sure how this goes but hopefully someone can help.
I'm about to move back in with parents as things have been tight recently and was considering taking on a second job when I do.
I currently work 16 hours and I'm looking for a night job now also for 16 hours (£104 pw) I assumed a second job would reduce my tax credits but I'd still be better off, I've tried the entitled to calculator and its showing me that my tax credits will actually increase slightly (around £6 pw) plus the extra wage, leaving me £110 pw better off. Does this seem correct? Thanks for reading.
