The maximum annual FA amount is $3,006 per child aged 0 to 17.

Reduction thresholds

These amounts are not taxable but are gradually reduced when the family income exceeds $38,237 at the federal level and $59,369 at the Quebec level.

Examples

The following tables show the amount of family allowances that a family may receive from both governments based on family income and the age number and age of the children.

Please note that there are calculators on government websites that allow you to calculate these amounts more precisely according to your own situation (see link below).

The amounts of family allowances are adjusted on July 1st of each year on the basis of the family net income from the previous year’s personal tax returns.

Given the high amount of family allowances, they should be considered an important planning element in establishing a good compensation strategy for incorporated clients.
