    Reasonable expenses incurred in respect of childcare costs and rent/mortgage payments will also be allowed. (There is, however, no exact definition of what 'reasonable expenses' actually means in relation to housing or childcare costs). Weekly travel costs to work: The actual cost of public transport is allowable or, for car owners, mileage at 30 cent per mile/18 cent per km plus a weekly amount of €50 to cover standing charges (depreciation and running costs). Where a couple needs two cars to travel to work a double allowance applies.
    However, if your income is over these limits, you can still apply for the ordinary medical card or GP Visit Card: for example, if you have high medical expenses, such as paying for a nursing home.

    IMO it would be your take home pay that you would put down.
