£14K a year, how much working tax credits?

[tinkerbelle93]

When me and OH have our baby, our joint income will be £14000 per year.

I was wondering if anybody has a vauge idea of what benefits we'll receive and how much- particularly wtc/ctc??

The online calculator thing never seems to make sense!

Cheers xx
