How much will I have to pay?

The amount you will have to pay depends on the help you need and the income and savings you have.

If you have income and savings of more than £23,250 you will need to pay the full cost of your care.
If your income and savings are between £14,250 and £23,250 you will need to make a contribution.
If you have less than £14,250 you may not have to pay anything.
