A legacy page that still answers live search demand
Working Tax Credit has ended for new claims, but search demand has not disappeared. People still need to understand historic awards, migration notices and how older entitlement compared with Universal Credit. This page is built for that reality rather than pretending the topic no longer exists.
That makes the page useful commercially and editorially: it serves genuine user intent while strengthening the site's broader low-income family cluster.
Why the calculator uses the last published rates
The page uses the final published 2024 to 2025 rates and thresholds because those are the last meaningful reference point for Working Tax Credit. It is labelled clearly as a legacy estimate so there is no ambiguity about whether it can be used for a new claim.
That clear labelling matters for trust. Users should never be left thinking they can still open a fresh Working Tax Credit claim in 2026.
Where to go next
If the historic award matters because you are moving to Universal Credit or checking what support now replaces it, the key next pages are Universal Credit, Tax-Free Childcare and Child Benefit. Those links are part of the page by design.
The site is intended to behave like a support ecosystem, not just a stack of disconnected calculators.
