The first £20 of earnings is ignored, everything else is deducted from your ESA payment.
Have you looked at entitlement to Universal Credit?
You would have a work allowance of £404 (if claiming help with rent) or £673 (if not claiming help with rent).
This is the amount your partner could earn before any deductions would be made.
Anything over the work allowance is deducted at a rate of 55p for every £1 earned.

Hi @kitkat59 just wanted to welcome you! ☺️
I can see you've had some feedback from @Kimmy87 so I won't add anything more at this point but please let us know if you need anything more.
I hope you don't mind but I've amended your title slightly with some detail of your question too, just to make it easier to find for others who might have some advice, or benefit from the feedback.
Best wishes,
Holly.
