About the Canada Child Benefit Calculator
The CCB pays up to $8,157 a year for each child under 6 and $6,883 for each child aged 6 to 17. Payments are reduced when adjusted family net income (from your 2025 return) is over $38,237, at 7% (one child), 13.5% (two), 19% (three) or 23% (four or more) of income up to $82,847, and by a smaller percentage above that. Provincial benefits and the Child Disability Benefit are extra.
The formula
CCB = maximum − reduction rate × (AFNI − $38,237) …
