Enter your adjusted family net income and the number of children in your care, and see an estimate of your Canada Child Benefit for the July 2026 to June 2027 payment period, worked out with the Canada Revenue Agency's own published formula. This is an estimate only. The CRA decides your actual payment when you file your tax return.
Your family net income from line 23600 of your tax return, plus your spouse's or common-law partner's line 23600 if applicable, with the Universal Child Care Benefit and registered disability savings plan adjustments the CRA describes. The July 2026 to June 2027 payments are based on your 2025 AFNI.
The maximum is $8,157 per year ($679.75 per month) for each child under 6, for the July 2026 to June 2027 period.
The maximum is $6,883 per year ($573.58 per month) for each child aged 6 to 17, for the July 2026 to June 2027 period.
The estimate follows the CRA's published calculation exactly: maximum amounts per child, reduced by the published percentages once AFNI passes $38,237, and by the published fixed amount plus a further percentage once AFNI passes $82,847. Payments are recalculated every July. Read the guide, then use the CRA's child and family benefits calculator for the figure that applies to your household.
Maximum amounts, July 2026 to June 2027. If your AFNI is under $38,237, you get the maximum amount for each child, with no reduction: $8,157 per year ($679.75 per month) for each child under 6, and $6,883 per year ($573.58 per month) for each child aged 6 to 17.
First phase-out, AFNI over $38,237 up to $82,847. Your total payment is reduced by a percentage of your income over $38,237. The percentage depends on the number of children in your care: 7% for one child, 13.5% for two children, 19% for three children, and 23% for four children or more.
Second phase-out, AFNI over $82,847. Your payment is reduced by a fixed amount plus an additional percentage of your income over $82,847. For one child, $3,123 plus 3.2%; for two children, $6,022 plus 5.7%; for three children, $8,476 plus 8%; for four children or more, $10,260 plus 9.5%.
What this estimator leaves out. The child disability benefit is not included: for the July 2026 to June 2027 period you could get up to $3,480 ($290 per month) for each child who is eligible for the disability tax credit, and the CRA calculates it automatically and adds it to your Canada Child Benefit payment. In shared custody, each parent gets 50% of what they would have received with full custody, calculated on their own AFNI. Provincial and territorial benefits administered by the CRA are also separate from this estimate.
