Weekly income example
Below are examples of calculating the income reduction for weekly income for Sole Parent Support.
Example 1
Weekly gross income | $350.00 | |
Less income allowed before benefit is affected (as at 1 April 2022) | $160.00 | |
Equals income that will affect benefit | $190.00 | |
Reduction is 30 cents per $1.00 of income over $160 but not more than $250 ($90 x 0.3 = $27) | $27.00 | |
And 70 cents from every $1.00 of income over $250 ($100 x 0.7 = $70) | $70.00 | $97.00 reduction |
Example 2
Weekly gross income | $400.00 | |
Less income allowed before benefit is affected (as at 1 April 2022) | $160.00 | |
Equals income that will affect benefit | $240.00 | |
Reduction is 30 cents per $1.00 of income over $160 but not more than $250 ($90 x 0.3 = $27) | $27.00 | |
And 70 cents from every $1.00 of income over $250 ($150.00 x 0.7 = $105) | $105.00 | $132.00 reduction |
