If 1 parent earns £60,000 you get nothing, if both parents earn £49,999 each you get full child benefit.
If you earn £60,000 per year you will take home £818 per week and pay £335 in tax/NI
2 parents earning £50,000 each will take home £1,414 and pay £508 in tax/NI but still get full child benefit.
What I'm trying to explain, poorly it would appear is that a family with 2 parents with one working can loose out with the current child benefit system compared to 2 parents working but earning a lot more money.
