    You'll need to provide more details of your circumstances.

    What are your working hours?
    Do you have a partner? If so what's their working hours and income?

    Sorry.
    I'll increase my hours to 15 a week for a salary of £5379. Husband works 35+ hours a week for a salary £21,600. Two children. Thank you.

    If 15hrs then from April it should be at least £5616 (hourly rate for over 25s will be £7.20, assuming you are over 25).

    Tax credits will go down about £260 for the year.

    Another variant on the question I asked you in March.
    O.H earns the same a mount I gave you, after receiving the credits award for 16/17 I now receive £279 a month for a 32 hours a month job at £220 a month. What would happen to the credits if
    A) changed jobs to a 60 hour a month at £560 a month OR
    B) did both jobs into a 92 hour a month at £780 .
    Thanks .
