Canada CCB Coming in July 2025: Who Gets $7,787 Per Child Aged 6 to 17?

Introduction: 2025 will be a very good news to you as a parent or guardian in Canada. Through Canada Child Benefit (CCB), the government is giving an amount of up to 7,787 per child as tax-free in July 2025. This will mean relief to many particularly those families that are struggling with costs of raising children.

This paper will describe in detail whether you are entitled or not, how much you can claim, how to claim and what you should remember in order to collect all your monies without failure.

What is Canada Child Benefit (CCB)?

The CCB is a Canada tax free allowance that is paid on a monthly basis to Canadian families which are eligible to raise their children under 18 years. This is annually adjusted in the month of July, and the amount that is received by this is calculated depending on the income gained in the last year.

Payment amounts for 2025:

Child’s Age	Annual CCB Amount (For Low-Income Families)
Under 6 Years	$7,787 per child
6 to 17 Years	$6,570 per child

These amounts are maximum for families with annual incomes below $36,502. However, middle- and high-income families can also receive partial benefit

What is the way the CCB functions?

The calculation of the CCB is done under the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA). They will estimate the amount of money you are going to get depending on your Adjusted Family Net Income (AFNI).

Approximate estimated payments:

Family Income	Child’s Age	Estimated Annual Benefit
$30,000	3 years	$7,787
$30,000	12 years	$6,570
$65,000	5 years	Approx. $5,000
$100,000	7 years	Approx. $2,000
$130,000	15 years	Approx. $500

The lower your income, the higher the CCB amount you are likely to receive
