This page details the financial requirement if the applicant is also applying for dependant children who are not British citizens to settle in the UK.
| gross salary | cash savings | |
| One dependent child | £22,400 | £72,000 |
| Two dependent children | £24,800 | £78,000 |
| Three dependent | £27,200 | £84,000 |
| Four dependent children | £29,600 | £90,000 |
| For each subsequent dependent child | £2,400 | £6,000 |
If you have a salary below that required for the number of dependent children the additional cash savings required to meet the financial requirement can be calculated using the following formula: cash savings requirement – (2.5 x salary)
Example. Your salary is £22,000 and you have 3 dependant children.
£84,000 – (2.5 x £22,000) = £29,000
You require cash savings of £29,000 in addition to your salary of £22,000 to meet the financial requirement.
