The formula, written out

Child's ageMaximum per yearMaximum per month
Under 6$8,157$679.75
6 to 17$6,883$573.58
Child disability benefit (extra, per eligible child)$3,480$290

For payments from July 2026 to June 2027, based on your 2025 adjusted family net income.

Start from the maximum for each child, then subtract the income reduction:

  • Income up to $38,237: no reduction.
  • $38,237 to $82,847: 7% (1 child), 13.5% (2), 19% (3) or 23% (4 or more) of income over $38,237.
  • Over $82,847: $3,123 + 3.2% (1 child), $6,022 + 5.7% (2), $8,476 + 8% (3) or $10,260 + 9.5% (4 or more) of income over $82,847.

Divide by 12 for the monthly amount. With shared custody, each parent gets half of their own calculation.
