how does one work out how much will get entitlement for

tax credits etc depending on how much one earns on a job. partner is self employed but with not having paid by a dodgy customer this has put us in difficulty so i think best for me to get a fulltime job but unsure how to work out how much will still get in help for the nursery etc as my daughter is enjoying it and she is learning so much too and playing with her mates so dont really want her to lose out.

    Depends on your income details and childcare costs as to how much help you'll get (If any)

    Without these figures, no-one will be able to help you.

    and with him not getting paid that has been very stressful. i have some options on jobs at the moment but not very well paid but thought maybe best to take something at the moment and change as soon as something better comes up. our mortgage is quite high so of course this is my first priority to get this paid. not sure what the best thing is to do at the moment as i dont want my daughter to miss out either. thanks

    You have made no money in the past year?

    How have you managed to live?

    Its worked out on your yearly salary details. Being SE, there will be slow months, and some where you possibly may not earn, but in this case you should have saved in the good months to offset those in the bad.

    Its based on your yearly details, not monthly.

    Your still not answering the question.

    You have a high mortgage so i take it you have regular income to pay that?

    Without salary details no-one will be able to offer you any help. If you dont want to put your salary details on here, use 1 of the calculators to try and help you with what you may be entitled to.

    Search for ''entitled to'' or ''do i qualify'' and it will give you an online calculator to work it out for you

    If they paid themselves from the business like I did, by not spending all the invoices as they came in and just paying a nominal weekly wage enough to meet living expenses which means you can still pay yourself when there's no work. I got to the point where I could still pay myself the amount I set for 9 months and that was only after 2 years of trading.
