Unlike most other means-tested benefits there is no limit on how much capital or savings you can have.
How much savings are you allowed on tax credits?
For tax credits, the savings limit of £16,000 doesn’t exist. Instead, your tax credits are affected by how much income (usually interest) you receive from those savings. If you receive less than £300 in income from those savings, it won’t affect your tax credits.
Can I claim any benefits if I have savings?
Some benefits may be reduced (or stopped completely) if you have a certain amount saved, either in a savings account or invested in shares. Benefits that are affected by savings are those which are means-tested. That means your eligibility, and how much you get, is assessed on your individual circumstances and income.

How is my personal allowance used for savings?
Your Personal Allowance is £12,500. It’s used up by the first £12,500 of your wages. The remaining £3,500 of your wages (£16,000 minus £12,500) reduces your starting rate for savings by £3,500. Your remaining starting rate for savings is £1,500 (£5,000 minus £3,500). This means you will not have to pay tax on your £200 savings interest.
