2026/27 rates: £27.05/week for the eldest or only child, £17.90/week for each additional child. The charge applies 1% for every £200 of income between £60,000 and £80,000 — above £80,000 it claws back all of it.

Estimate only — not financial advice. Even if the full amount is clawed back, claiming keeps your National Insurance credits toward the State Pension.

Pension contributions reduce your adjusted net income — and a compliant umbrella keeps everything else simple.
