"The percentage deducted from pay will fall. Instead of paying 15pc for one child, 20pc for two, or 25pc of net salary for three children, an absent parent will pay 12pc, 16pc or 19pc up to earnings of £800 a week. Above this they pay 9pc of gross salary for one child, 12pc for two and 15pc for three."

The first set of figures are for the old net scheme and relate to salary after deduction of tax and NI the second are for the gross scheme.

The actual amount payable will be broadly the same under both schemes unless tax credits are involved.
