For those lucky enough to meet the eligibility criteria as parents or legal guardians in Canada, 2025 promises to be a very special year. The government is offering tax-free assistance, amounting to $7787, under the Canada Child Benefit (CCB). It is more than just a jingle for advertising; it truly is a reprieve for families who feel the burden of financing children.

From newborns to teens, this article is a complete guide for you- who is eligible, how much can be claimed, and instructions to apply so that nothing is missed.

What’s CCB?

Under the Canada Child Benefit, in order to help the maintaining of children under 18 years, tax-free monthly payments are made to eligible families. The amount is changed every July, depending on the net income of the family in the prior year.

Potential payments for 2025 might be as follows:

• For children under 6: $7,787
• For children aged 6 to 17: $6,570

The full amount will be available if the family income is below $36,502. However, if above that, one may still qualify for either full or partial benefit.

How Does The Scheme Function?

The Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) determines the amount you will receive based on your Adjusted Family Net Income (AFNI).

The rule is simple: lower the income, steeper the benefit.

CCB payments are usually credited on or about the 20th of each month.

Let us explain now with examples of CCB amounts by income and child’s age:

Family Net Income	Child’s Age	Estimated Annual CCB
$30,000	3 years	$7,787
$30,000	12 years	$6,570
$65,000	5 years	Approximately $5,000
$100,000	7 years	Approximately $2,000

Extra Benefits If the Child Is Disabled

With respect to any child on whose behalf the Benefit is being paid, other funding opportunities may be available in respect of a Child Disability Benefit (CDB) if he/she is severely disabled.

This adds a maximum of $3,173 a year on top of the CCB.

Fundamentally, the child must be eligible for the Disability Tax Credit (DTC).
