Benefit amounts based on income
The CRA determines your benefit amount based on your adjusted family net income. The benefit amount for each eligible child will not change based on your dental costs.
Use your adjusted family net income from:
- 2021 for dental care received between October 1, 2022 and June 30, 2023
- 2022 for dental care received between July 1, 2023 and June 30, 2024
Benefit amounts per eligible child
| Adjusted family net income | Full custody amount | Shared custody amount |
|---|---|---|
less than $70,000 | $650 | $325 |
$70,000 to $79,999 | $390 | $195 |
$80,000 to $89,999 | $260 | $130 |
$90,000 or more | not eligible | not eligible |
Estimate your benefit amount if you’re still unsure or do not know your adjusted family net income.
How many payments you can get
For this benefit, you may apply for a maximum of 2 payments for each eligible child. If you have more than one eligible child, you can apply for all of them at the same time or separately.
