Your original post said that you had been told your UC would be £314/month. The statement you have entered says £594.90 less £229.50 which actually leaves you with a UC payment of £365.40/month.
As others have said you should also get help with your rent once details have been accepted by DWP. However your work allowance will drop from £409 to £198 when housing costs are added.
Your maximum UC will be £594.90 plus your allowable housing costs (which may be less than your rent if you have a spare bedroom or the rent includes non allowable service charges).
From your take home pay of £773.28 the first £198 will be ignored leaving £575.28 to be taken into account x 63%.
UC payable = maximum UC payable minus £362.43.

Thanks.
So Ka11yz, you have received UC of ( £595 - £230) i.e. £365 per month in addition to your take home pay of £773. But this has not taken into account your rent liability..
Once the claim is adjusted to include your housing costs* your maximum UC payable will be £995, from which £362 will be deducted due to your earnings. So, your monthly UC payable will be £633. This is in addition to your take home pay of £773.
From this Ka11yz, you will have to pay the £400 rent to the council.
So, providing my calculations are right, you will be left with around £1,000 a week after paying the rent
You should be slightly better off under UC with a UC payment equivalent to c.£146pw compared with the £135pw under Tax Credits.
Housing costs* I am assuming you have a 2 bed property (so no spare bedroom).
This also assumes there is no UC advance payments to repay.
