Whatever figure fits you, if you earn no more than that amount your Universal Credit is not reduced. If you do earn more, you lose 65% of any excess.
So if you are a single parent and rent your home, your work allowance is £198, so If you earn £312 per month, only £114 is taken into account. 63% of £120 is £77.82, so your monthly Universal Credit is reduced by this figure.
