2nd Baby/Universal Credit

If you’ve entered the correct info into a reputable calculator such as entitedto or turn2us, it should be pretty accurate

So, entitledto is NOT accurate because it does not take into a lot of things! I can't stand it when people suggest it! You are much better off doing a manual calculation!

Your partners wages are taken into account. Your maternity is also likely to be treated as a wage and deducted £ for £. Then take into account of rent or mortgage etc etc.

is it not? I’ve seen lots of ppl recommend it. I assumed it would cover all the basics like housing, children, earnings, etc and include them in the calc.
I’ve always used turn2us and found that accurate altho I’m a single parent so don’t have partner to include.
Also I thought smp was treated as a wage, not deducted £ for £ like maternity allowance is

@Helen no it isn't because it doesn't correctly deduct actual wages, doesn't consider rent or mortgage or even anything. It is so unreliable. Doesn't count any savings doesn't add up any extra elements such as disability. Your better off doing a manual calculation.
