Key facts
- For 2026-27, FTB Part A pays up to $235.48 a fortnight per child aged 0 to 12 and $306.46 per child 13 to 19, with a base rate of $75.60.
- Part A is paid at the maximum rate up to $69,131 of family income, then reduces by 20 cents per dollar; above $123,078, by 30 cents per dollar.
- FTB Part B pays up to $200.34 a fortnight when the youngest child is under 5 and $139.86 when 5 to 18.
- Part B stops if the higher earner's income is over $124,327; in a couple the lower earner can earn $7,154 before it reduces.

How it's worked out
- Part A starts at the maximum rate for each child and reduces by 20 cents for every dollar of family income over $69,131, but not below the base rate of $75.60 per child.
- Over $123,078, Part A reduces by 30 cents per dollar until it's nil.
- Part B is a family payment: single parents get it in full on income up to $124,327; couples need the higher earner at or under that limit, and the lower earner's income over $7,154 reduces it by 20 cents per dollar.
- Fortnightly amounts are turned into yearly ones at 365/14 fortnights a year, the same way the published income limits are worked out.

Common questions
How is Family Tax Benefit Part A calculated?
Your family's adjusted taxable income is compared with two income free areas. Above $69,131, the maximum rate reduces by 20 cents per dollar until it reaches the base rate; above $123,078, it reduces by 30 cents per dollar until it's nil. Services Australia pays whichever of the two methods gives more.
How much FTB will I get with two kids?
With two children aged 0 to 12, Part A is $470.96 a fortnight at family income up to $69,131, and stops at about $136,218. Use the calculator for your income.
Does the calculator include Part B for couples?
Yes. Couples get Part B while the youngest child is under 13, if the higher earner earns $124,327 or less. The lower earner's income above $7,154 reduces it by 20 cents per dollar.
What isn't included?
Rent Assistance and Energy Supplement paid with FTB, the Maintenance Income Test for child support, shared care, the Newborn Supplement and Upfront Payment, and the rule that families on an income support payment get the maximum Part A rate.
