child tax credit, and child benefit

The £320 is not guaranteed, and likely to be lower if she's earning a wage too.

Child Tax Credit for a single child born before April 2017 is £3784.44 for the year.

Assuming no overpayments or reduction due to income, then that would be paid either weekly at about £72/week or 4-weekly at about £291/4weeks.

The monthly equivalent is about £315.

Amounts actually received can be different in practice, as the annual amount will be split over the number of payment days left in the tax year.

Interesting.   And how much is child benefit for the primary carer?

It tells you in the link quoted in the second post.

So she's getting £96 plus £320 plus my £200.   That's a pretty nice sum on top of her salary.  

 Jealous?why don't you take over her responsibilities
