Formula:
The Canada Child Benefit (CCTB) is a tax-free monthly payment made by the government to eligible families to help them with the cost of raising children. The amount you receive is based on your Adjusted Family Net Income (AFNI), the number of children you have, and the age of each child. Generally, as AFNI increases, the CCTB amount decreases.
While the exact calculation involves specific reduction rates applied to different income thresholds and child counts, the core principle is: CCTB = Max Benefit - (Reduction based on AFNI, number of children, and age)
