Canada To Send Next Child Benefit Payment On June 20

Canadian families eagerly await the next Canada Child Benefit (CCB) payment. This tax-free support will reach bank accounts on June 20, 2025. Managed by the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA), the CCB helps parents and guardians handle the rising costs of raising children.

The CCB offers monthly financial aid for kids under 18. It supports families with groceries, childcare, clothes, and school supplies. This helps adjust with inflation and income, making it fair and useful for many.

Payment Dates for 2025

The CCB payments come each month, usually around the 20th. In 2025, these are the key payment dates:

• June 20
  
• July 18
  
• August 20
  
• September 19
  
• October 20
  
• November 20
  
• December 12
  

These steady payments help families plan budgets and cover daily costs.

How Much Will You Get?

The amount depends on your family’s income and number of children. For the year from July 2024 to June 2025, the top yearly payments are:

• $7,787 for each child under 6 (about $649 per month)
  
• $6,570 for children aged 6 to 17 (about $548 per month)
  

Families earning less than $36,502 get full benefits. As income rises, payments slowly decrease. There are specific reduction rates based on the number of children and income levels.

You can use the Canada Child Benefit Calculator online to estimate your payments.
