If you get Tax-Free Childcare, the government will pay £2 for every £8 you pay your childcare provider via an online account.

You can get Tax-Free Childcare at the same time as 30 hours free childcare if you’re eligible for both.

You can usually get Tax-Free Childcare if you (and your partner, if you have one) are:

in work – or getting parental leave, sick leave or annual leave
each earning at least the National Minimum Wage or Living Wage for 16 hours a week – Currently (October 2018) this is £125.28 if you’re 25 or over

This earnings limit does not apply if you’re self-employed and started your business less than 12 months ago.

You can get up to £500 every 3 months (£2,000 a year) for each of your children to help with the costs of childcare.
