Lone Parent Tax Credit

[SarahMc]

This is a very basic question. I want to calculate take home pay, and have been onto the Karl Grabe calculator, but the only options are "single" or "married". Would putting in married give the same result as someone with the lone parent tax credit?

The tax credits might work out okay (€1580 + €1580 = €3160), however, the standard rate cut off point may not:

One-Parent Family cut off = €33400
Married couple = €38400
(single = €29,400)

If your salary is less than €33400, then it should work out okay (but don't take my word for it!)
