# The Jobseeker’s Allowance Regulations 2013, Regulation 26: Amount of reduction for each benefit week


Where it has been determined that an award of a jobseeker’s allowance is to be reduced in accordance with section 6J or 6K of the Act, the amount of the reduction for each benefit week in respect of which a reduction has effect is to be calculated as follows.
Step 1
Take the number of days—
(a) in the benefit week; or
(b) if lower, in the total outstanding reduction period,
and deduct any days in that benefit week or total outstanding reduction period for which the reduction is suspended in accordance with regulation 24.
Step 2
Multiply the number of days produced by step 1 by the daily reduction rate.
Step 3
Deduct the amount produced by step 2 from the amount of the award of jobseeker’s allowance for the benefit week.
