Formula Used

The Canada Child Benefit (CCB) amount is calculated based on the number of eligible children and the family's net income. The formula used is:

CCB Calculation Formula

Monthly CCB Amount = (Number of Eligible Children × $64.50) - (Income Reduction × $2.25)

Where:

  • $64.50 is the base amount per eligible child
  • Income Reduction is calculated based on family income
  • $2.25 is the income reduction factor

The income reduction phase-in and phase-out rates are applied based on the family's net income. For Ontario residents, the income thresholds are:

Income Level Maximum Monthly CCB
Below $45,600 Full amount
$45,600 to $51,960 Reduced amount
Above $51,960 No CCB payment

Worked Examples

Example 1: Family with 2 Children, Low Income

Family income: $30,000

Number of children: 2

Calculation: (2 × $64.50) - (0 × $2.25) = $129.00

Result: The family would receive $129 per month.

Example 2: Family with 3 Children, Medium Income

Family income: $48,000

Number of children: 3

Calculation: (3 × $64.50) - (($48,000 - $45,600) × $2.25) = $193.50 - $56.25 = $137.25

Result: The family would receive $137.25 per month.
