How we calculate your weekly contribution

The Council follows the Care Act 2014 and statutory guidance (Care and support statutory guidance - GOV.UK) to calculate your contribution. The assessment is completed as follows:

Your weekly income

Plus

Tariff income (if your savings are above the lower limit)

Less

Minimum Income Guarantee (money you must keep for daily living)

Less

Housing costs (rent, mortgage, council tax, water)

Less

Disability related expenses

Equals

Net Disposable Income (NDI)

You will pay a 100% of your NDI, but never more than the cost of your care.

If your NDI is below £5 per week, you will not be charged.
