Tax Free Deduction Doesn't Work

in Cutting tax
So, I have a Tax Free Deduction, but when I enter the amount (which can only be a positive number) and select Tax Free Deduction, it adds it on rather that deducts. Am I doing something wrong?

Start by reading your post. Then have a second go!0 -
What is the tax free deduction and where are you entering it?0

Near the bottom of the calculator there is a field to enter 'Allowances/deductions' where you can only enter positive figures. Then further down you have to state whether it's an allowance or a deduction. but it seems to always treat it as an allowance even when you select 'deduction'.0 -

The MSE calculator has never been very reliable so probably best to try another or learn about PAYE so you do not need one.1
