Hiya, I'm a Nrp and currently think that taking 20% from my net income is absolutely disgraceful.
I have a mortgage, bills and 4 other children to care for, but this is not taken into account whatsoever.
What is the percentage taken from net wages of the new scheme, or has the minister come up with another day light robbery experience for us nrp's.
Would not surprise me if he takes it off the gross wage, then impacting on your health scheme, car allowance, pension, etc..
If you have a look at the sticky called "How does the CSA calculate payments" and follow the second link you'll find a Leflet detailing the new system....I think your right though, it's a gross wage calculation as far as I can remember... But check as I'm not completely sure....sorry.
I've moved your post into the main body of the section and we'll ask child Maintenance Options to drop by and advise you.
Yes, it's a gross wage calculation.
Does the 20% calculation mean you have 2 children you are paying for, or is it 3 or more and the 25% has been reduced to take account of the children you are now looking after?

Here are the details:
http://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/2008/6/schedule/4
Health schemes and car allowances were not excluded under the current system, only pension payments. The same applies for the new gross salary scheme.
What it does mean is that if you earn enough to lose child benefit or your personal allowance, it will have a negative effect on your take home pay, but not on the amount you pay the PWC for the children.
In my case they take 15% of my net rather than my gross.
expect they work it out on what makes the the most money.
I've just had a recalculation done even though I haven't changed job in over 2years and have always paid
my direct debit on time my payments have doubled and have been told i'm in arrears of £600 and was only
contacted by them because I had to cancel them taking my arrears as blew my overdraft.
The new system is so wrong, yes pay for your child but does my 8year daughter old really need more money a month than i'm left to eat and get to work ............
You are under the old current (CSA-2) if it's out of net - under the new system, it would be 12% of gross - if you are a basic rate taxpayer with no benefits (pension excluded), it will not make a great deal of difference. In fact, because of the personal tax allowance, lower earners will probably pay slightly less.
