The Working Family Payment is an in-work support which provides an income top-up for employees on low earnings with children and offers a financial incentive to take-up employment. Currently there are almost 57,700 families with more than 129,000 children in receipt of the WFP. The estimated spend on WFP this year is approximately €431 million.
