The CCB is a monthly tax-free benefit based on prior year’s adjusted net family income that provides support for low- to middle-income families with children to help with the cost of raising children under 18 years of age.
On July 18, Government of Canada announced that the benefit amounts have increased for 2025–26. Families can now receive up to $7,997 per child under the age of 6 and $6,748 per child aged 6 through 17.
This represents approximately a $200 increase from the previous year and will help parents manage everyday expenses like groceries, clothing or child care, providing added support as they raise their children.
The amount received under the CCB depends on several factors, such as the number of children and their ages, and prior year’s adjusted net family income.
A family with one child aged 5 and one child aged 9 with an adjusted family net income of $65,000 will receive just over $11,000 in 2025–26. This represents over $500 more than they would have received in 2024–25.
The CCB has been indexed to inflation since 2018, using the Consumer Price Index from Statistics Canada, a trusted measure of cost-of-living changes.
This annual indexation, effective every July, ensures the CCB keeps pace with rising expenses, offering predictable and stable support that families can count on year after year.
