Unemployment benefits Unemployment benefit may include both Unemployment Insurance and Unemployment Assistance benefits. Insurance benefits are typically linked to previous earnings and require previous employment record and social contribution payments. This distinguishes them from unemployment assistance benefits, which are usually means tested and either provide a second-tier safety net for those who have exhausted their rights to unemployment insurance, or serve as a principal form of income support for jobseekers who were not entitled to unemployment insurance benefits in the first place	Select the previous annual earnings: % of country's average wage Statutory minimum wage Annual amount in national currency Amount in full time equivalent unit Select the country for the national currency unit
Social assistance / Guaranteed minimum income The primary goal of Social Assistance benefits is to reduce the risks of income poverty and social exclusion. This differenciate SA/GMI benefits from Unemployment Assistance benefits, whose main aim is to encourage the labour market reintegration of jobseekers who have exhausted or are uneligible to Unemployment Insurance benefit. The list of benefits and their classification as Social Assistance or Unemployment Assistance is available here.
Cash housing benefits for rented accommodations Income support programmes for people living in privately rented accommodation. Specific cash support for housing-related expenditures other than rent, e.g. heating and water bills, are outside the scope of the TaxBEN model. However, if part of housing benefits aim to cover utility costs, and cannot be identified separately, calculated housing benefits include these components as well.

Temporary 'into-work' benefits when starting a new job One-off or temporary benefits that are available following a recent transition into work, e.g., during a predefined period after taking up new employment	Months in the new job: This value is inconsistent with first adult's age (), the calculations will assume that the person started working at the age of 18. Months out of work:
In-Work benefits Benefits provided on a regular basis, typically as a supplement to the regular monthly/weekly earnings, to those working a certain number of hours and/or earning more than a certain minimum.
Family benefits Benefits that are conditional on having dependent familiy members. Benefits that are conditional on using centre-based childcare for parents of pre-school children are classified as 'childcare benefits' (the last option of the list below, currently available only when all children are under 4 years and both parents work full time)
Homecare allowances Homecare benefits (or 'child-rising' allowances) are programmes designed to support parents who look after their children at home and are conditional on NOT using centre-based childcare.
Lone parent maintenance benefits Benefit programmes for lone parents whose aim is to provide a certain amounts of alimony child support payments when the absent parent does not or cannot provide such support.
Benefits and costs related to the use of centre-based childcare Childcare costs are a measure of the gross childcare fees that providers charge to parents whereas childcare benefits can take the form of fee rebates, allowances or tax concessions related to the use of centre-based childcare. This guidelines for country experts describe in detail the methodology for calculating childcare costs and associated benefits.
