Tax credits calculator

You can no longer make a new claim for tax credits.

You may be able to claim Universal Credit instead.

If you already get tax credits

You can still make a claim for Child Tax Credit or Working Tax Credit.

To do this, you’ll need to update your existing tax credit claim.

Some changes may stop your tax credits. If your tax credits stop, you cannot claim tax credits again.

Check how tax credits and other benefits affect each other.

Estimate your tax credits claim

This calculator:

• only gives an estimate
• cannot tell you if a change in your circumstances could end your tax credits

Before you start

You’ll need details of:

• your income
• your partner’s income
• your working hours
• any benefits you’re claiming, or have just stopped claiming
• the average weekly amount you spend on childcare
• your immigration status, if you are ‘subject to immigration control’
