Could someone help with this child tax credit calculation?

Hello,
Im a little confused in the difference between 2 years reviews.
2014/2015 & 2015/2016

without going into too much detail

total income for 14/15 was £28500 so i would get £5504 and there was a reduction due to my income of £1588

total income for 15/16 was £29100 so i would get £5453 and there was a reduction due to my income of £654

I was confused as to why there is a £900 difference in the reduction...

thanks
