Family Tax Benefit Calculator — FTB Part A and Part B (2026–27)

For 2026–27, the maximum rate is $235.48 a fortnight for each child aged 0 to 12 and $306.46 for each child aged 13 to 15, or 16 to 19 in secondary study. The base rate is $75.60 per child. On top, an FTB Part A supplement of up to $970.90 per child is paid after the year is balanced, if your family income is $80,000 or less.

You get the maximum rate if your family's adjusted taxable income is $69,131 or less. Above that it reduces by 20 cents per dollar until it reaches the base rate, then holds there until $123,078, above which it reduces by 30 cents per dollar. With one child, FTB Part A stops at $129,648; with two children aged 0–12, at $136,218; with three, at $148,507.

For 2026–27, the maximum is $200.34 a fortnight per family when the youngest child is under 5, and $139.86 when the youngest is 5 to 18. There is also a yearly FTB Part B supplement of up to $478.15 per family.

Single parents get the maximum rate if their adjusted taxable income is $124,327 or less, and nothing above it. Couples can only get FTB Part B while the youngest child is under 13, and only if the higher earner earns $124,327 or less. The lower earner can earn $7,154 a year before it reduces by 20 cents per dollar; it stops at $35,661 if the youngest is under 5, or $27,777 if the youngest is 5 to 12.

Two children aged 0–12 on a family income of $100,000: FTB Part A is about $234.16 a fortnight ($6,105 a year), down from the $470.96 maximum by 20 cents for every dollar over $69,131. No supplement is paid over $80,000. FTB Part B depends on who earns the $100,000: a single-income couple with a child under 5 would get the full $200.34 a fortnight.

It can. Between $69,131 and the base-rate point, every extra dollar of family income reduces Part A by 20 cents, and above $123,078 by 30 cents. For couples, extra income earned by the lower earner above $7,154 a year also reduces Part B by 20 cents per dollar. FTB is paid on your estimate and balanced against your tax return, so update your estimate when your hours change to avoid a debt.

Adjusted taxable income is your taxable income plus certain other amounts, such as reportable fringe benefits, reportable super contributions (including salary sacrifice), net investment losses, tax-free pensions and foreign income. For FTB Part A it is your family's combined figure. Services Australia's 'What adjusted taxable income is' page lists every component.

No. Family Tax Benefit is not taxable income, so it doesn't go in your tax return. It is still income-tested against your family's adjusted taxable income, and the year is balanced once everyone who needs to has lodged a tax return.

Yes. If you or your partner get an income support payment such as Parenting Payment or JobSeeker, and it isn't reduced to $0 by employment income, you can get the maximum rate of FTB Part A without the income test. The $80,000 income test for the supplement still applies.
