Applying for a credit card

carrot_cake

Hi all

I hope someone can clarify something for me please. When applying for a credit card, do you calculate all your income or just income from employment?

I work part-time but also receive carer's allowance for my disabled child which I believe is a taxable income. I also receive some Child Tax Credit. I just wanted to know what figure I am supposed to put down as my annual income?

Thanks.

Most applications will ask your wage, and then separately any other incomes.

So you can put in your actual wage where it asks, and any money from the allowance in the other income box.

Thanks for the quick response.

Check out the specific website of the card issuer you are planning to apply to. They normally detail what can be included.
