Child Tax Credit Calculator April 2011 onwards

[CarGirl]

Has anyone managed to work out a spreadsheet to give an idea if they will get anything from April?????

I keep reading the thresholds but can't work out how they work?

Thanks for that info! It is so frustrating for all of us as many are living on such tight budgets that even a small change makes a massive difference. I called them today and found that they won't take maintenance payments into account yet - but no promises for when the universal credit comes in.

As for changes in payments this month I got a letter today stating that between now and the end on March I may receive a payment I was not expecting due to changes they need to make in their system in preparation for next year???? But - other payments will be slightly lower to take this into account

Noone got a pay rise where I work either.... This year is going to be seriously tight, I will be saving everything I can

I got that letter too Daisy we 'may' get another payment definately agree Lockets they have no idea what they are doing.
No use for those who will be struggling come April

Ok they have published the 'rates and thresholds'for 2011 on www.hmrc.gov.uk/rates/taxcredits.htm so you can work out next years payments by using the examples (which is not easy argh!)
