How much Family Tax Benefit could you get?

A payment for each child, highest for families earning up to $69,131 a year (2026–27). It shrinks by 20c for each dollar over that, and by 30c over $123,078, down to nothing.

Extra help for single parents and couples with one main income. Couples only get it while the youngest child is under 13, and not if the higher earner makes over $124,327 a year.

Lump sums paid after the end of the financial year, once your income is checked: up to $970.90 a child for Part A (if family income is $80,000 or less) and $478.15 a family for Part B.
