How much help
with childcare costs will I get?
The childcare
element can help with up to 70% of your eligible
childcare costs.
There are limits on the weekly costs you can
claim.
If you pay childcare
for one child, the maximum you can claim is
£175.00 a week. Two or more children,
the maximum is £300.00 per week
The table below
shows the maximum amount you can get, but the
actual amount will depend on your income.
