It depends on whether you get help with your housing costs, or not. There's a work allowance of £293 per month if you get help with housing costs. If you don't get help with this the work allowance is £515 per month. For every pound over your work allowance, 63p is deducted.So, for example earning £156 per week (£156 x 52, then divided by 12 to give a monthly amount ) that would be £676 per month. So, £676 - £293 (with housing costs) = £383 x £0.63 = £241.29 which would be the amount deducted from the UC per month (but you'd have the £676 earned in wages).Without help with housing it would be £676 - £515 = £161 x £0.63 = £101.43 which would be deducted from UC per month.
