Add your income
This is how much money you have coming into your household, which might include wages, bonuses, benefits, pension or tax credits.

Include your outgoings
This is your household spending. It's important when you think about your outgoings to consider your priority bills - utilities, rent or mortgage payments, and any other loans or court payments. If these are in arrears, you should make sure they're up to date before you start paying Lowell.
