Tax codes/NI etc- Help please!!

[sair5412]

I have recently found myself a single parent and I am trying to work out my tax and child tax credits but it needs to be beneficial for me to put my young son into childcare. I wonder if anyone can help.... If I work 24 hours a week I will earn �145.20 which is �7550.40 per year. If I work 32 hours a week I will earn �10,067.20 per year. I currently work 16 hours per week and my tax code is 508L and I do not get taxed. Can anyone tell me what I should expect to be taxed/NI contributions on the above amounts? Sorry if this is a silly question.

Thank you.

Using the figures you have given, the total deductions due to Tax/NI would be:

24 hrs pw = �10.79 giving a nett wage of �134.41
32 hrs pw = �26.76 giving a nett wage of �166.84
