Your earnings
Working parent funding
Over the next 3 months you and your partner (if you have one) must each expect to earn at least:
£2,539.68 before tax if you’re aged 21 or over (equivalent to £195.36 per week)
£2,080 before tax if you’re aged 18 to 20 (equivalent to £160 per week)
£1,570.40 before tax if you’re under 18 or an apprentice (equivalent to £120.80 per week)
This is equivalent to the National Minimum Wage or Living Wage for 16 hours a week, on average.
You can earn up to £100,000 adjusted net income per year and be eligible. If you or your partner have an expected adjusted net income over
£100,000 in the current tax year, you will not be eligible.
You can use an average of how much you expect to earn over the current tax year if:
you work throughout the year but do not get paid regularly
you’re self-employed and do not expect to earn enough in the next 3 months
If you’re not currently working you may still be eligible if your partner is working, and you are on carer’s leave or if you get any of the following:
Incapacity Benefit
Severe Disablement Allowance
Carer’s Allowance
Limited Capability for Work Benefit
Contribution-based Employment and Support Allowance
