Am I eligible?

• For working families, including the self-employed, in the UK

• Earning under £100k and at least £152 per week (equal to 16 hours at the National Minimum or Living Wage) each

• Who aren't receiving Tax Credits, Universal Credit or childcare vouchers?

• With children aged 0–11 (or 0–16 if disabled)

What support will I receive?

• For every £8 you pay into an online account, the government will add an extra £2, up to £2,000 per child per year

How can I use it?

• You can use Tax-Free Childcare all year round to spend on regulated childcare such as:

• Childminders, nurseries and nannies

• Before and after-school clubs and holiday clubs

For example, if your childcare costs are £750 per month, you would pay £600 into your childcare account and the government would pay in £150. This would be an annual saving of £1,800 per child.
