Child benefit & child tax credit.......

[Mum2OneAndBump]

Just trying to work out finances for when new baby arrives...

Can anyone tell me how much child benefit you get for 2nd child, Also how much child tax credit for 2nd child??

TIA

child benefit is around £11 for second child.
Tax credit is dependent on your income etc so would depend on that.

sorry thats £11 a week..lol

Thanks for that Nemo.

Oh yes of course it depends on income lol is there a site where you can go & check? i thought there was one but can not find it?

the website is www.direct.gov.uk they used to have an interactive section which told you how much you 'may' get, but that seems to have gone. it now says up to £1960 per child depending on income.

if you are entitled to child tax credit, they will also give you an extra £10 a week for children under 12 months, that was a great bonus when I had twins

There is a site that will give you an estimate, just a mo I will see if I can find it.

mum2one www.entitledto.com is supposed to be ok but dont take it as law as it told us we were entitled to a lot more than we actually are!!

11.40 a week now c/b

my tax credits went from £28.50 a week to £75.01 when becky was born

mum2one www.entitledto.com is supposed to be ok but dont take it as law as it told us we were entitled to a lot more than we actually are!!

to give you an idea I have a 2.2yr old and a 3wk old and income is just under £20,000 a year and we are entitled to £1340 a year.

jarm jealous of your amount..lol as it is nearly our monthly entitlement although jess is a year younger than adam.

Thanks all i am off to look at the websites suggested, JARM that is quite a jump bet you were pleased

It was here but the online claim has gone due to fraud protection.

Thanks for that Nemo that does help.

i was yes, still expecting a letter demanding it all back though!
