Answer
The Minimum Income Floor is designed to encourage self-employed customers to progress in work and grow their earnings to a sustainable level.
An individual’s Minimum Income Floor is set and reviewed by their work coach based on the number of hours they are expected to work multiplied by the National Living Wage.
The Department routinely keeps its policies under review. We are not currently reviewing the Minimum Income Floor for Universal Credit customers, but are always interested in views from customers and stakeholders.
