There are online calculators here https://www.gov.uk/benefits-calculators
At your age Universal Credit would be a maximum of £251.77/month plus help with your rent. If you have any spare bedrooms the amount of help with rent you can get is reduced. Any wages will reduce your UC by 63% of the wages received.Information I post is for England unless otherwise stated. Some rules may be different in other parts of UK.0
