What this means
Child Benefit is a payment made to people responsible for bringing up children. Rates differ for the first child and additional children.
Frequently asked questions
You can claim if you are responsible for a child under 16, or under 20 if they stay in approved education or training.
If you or your partner earn over £60,000, you may need to pay back some or all of your Child Benefit through a tax charge.
Child Benefit is usually paid every 4 weeks, or weekly if you are a single parent or receive certain other benefits.
Disclaimer
High earners may have to pay the High Income Child Benefit Charge if they or their partner earn over £60,000 per year. This calculator does not account for that charge.
