Use this tool to get an estimate of:
- how much money you get from Child Benefit in a tax year
- the High Income Child Benefit tax charge you or your partner may have to pay
Before you start
You may be affected by the tax charge if your ‘adjusted net income’ is:
- over £60,000 for the tax year 2024 to 2025
- over £50,000 for tax years 2012 to 2013 up to tax year 2023 to 2024
Adjusted net income includes taxable benefits you get from your job, like a company car or medical insurance.
Your partner is responsible for paying the tax charge if their adjusted net income is also more than:
- £60,000 and higher than yours (for the tax year 2024 to 2025)
- £50,000 and higher than yours (for tax years 2012 to 2013 up to tax year 2023 to 2024)
You’ll need the dates your Child Benefit claim started and, if applicable, when you stopped:
- being eligible for Child Benefit
- getting payments because you opted out of Child Benefit payments
