This Canada child benefit calculator applies the CRA formula for July 2026 to June 2027: a maximum of $8,157 a year per child under 6 and $6,883 per child aged 6 to 17, minus a reduction that starts above $38,237 of adjusted family net income and changes pace at $82,847. For two children, the younger under 6, and a 2025 family income of $60,000, it gives $1,008.50 a month. Enter the number of children in each age group, line 23600 of your 2025 return plus your spouse’s, and the number of children approved for the disability tax credit. The result shows the yearly and monthly CCB, the child disability benefit when it applies, and the reduction tier you are in. When the total for the year is under $240, the calculator flags that the CRA pays it in one sum in July.

What the calculator computes
It follows the CRA calculation page for the benefit year that started in July 2026. It adds up the maximum for each child, subtracts the income reduction for the number of children in the family, then adds the child disability benefit of up to $3,480 per eligible child, reduced above $82,847 as the CDB page explains. All amounts come from the CRA tables in force since July 2026.
Typical monthly amounts
The table runs the same engine for families of one to four children, with the youngest under 6 and the others aged 6 to 17.
| Family income 2025 | 1 child | 2 children | 3 children | 4 children |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| $35,000 | $679.75 | $1,253.33 | $1,826.92 | $2,400.50 |
| $60,000 | $552.80 | $1,008.50 | $1,482.34 | $1,983.38 |
| $90,000 | $400.43 | $717.52 | $1,072.90 | $1,488.87 |
| $130,000 | $293.76 | $527.52 | $806.23 | $1,172.21 |
The gaps between columns narrow as income rises, because the reduction rate grows with the number of children. A four-child family at $130,000 still receives $1,172.21 a month.
What it does not do
The calculator does not check eligibility, which depends on residence, status and who cares for the child; the Canada child benefit guide covers those rules. It does not split a year in which a child turns 6 or the family changes, and it leaves out provincial and territorial child benefits. For deposit days, see the CCB payment dates; in shared custody, the shared custody guide.
