    Struggling to calculate how much our contributions will be for rent supplement.
    Our current income is 340,60 per week (couple with 1 child).
    I am starting a part time (minimum 20 hours per week @ 10e per hour) temporary job next week.
    Also the 130 per month / 30 per week child benefit payment.
    We are in Dublin where the rent supplement is 875 for couple with 1 child.

    Say for example we get a place for 875 a month, I work 20 hours a week and we have a reduced social income pay (cos of me working), what would our rent contributions per week be?

    Ive tried to work it out myself using the steps on citizens information and come to only 35,55 (thats including the 35 minimum rent for a couple), and that doesnt sound right to me.
