An estimate only, not a guarantee of payment. The Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) decides eligibility and calculates the actual amount from your 2026 tax return.
Estimate: $0. At this income, the Supplement is fully phased out for .
Your child may still qualify for the separate, needs-based Disability Benefit, which isn't based on income.
How the Supplement is calculated
- Maximum: $6,000 a year for each eligible child, paid monthly ($500 a month per child).
- Income test: Families with an adjusted family net income below $50,000 receive the maximum. Above $50,000, the total is reduced by 4% of the income over $50,000.
- Phase-out: The Supplement reaches $0 at $200,000 for one eligible child, $350,000 for two and $500,000 for three. Each additional child adds $150,000.
- Shared custody: If all your eligible children are in shared custody, you receive half the full-custody amount. If some are shared and some aren't, the calculator follows the Province's four steps: (1) the amount for all your eligible children as if you had full custody, plus (2) the amount for only your full-custody children, (3) added together and (4) divided by two.
- Income year: Payments from July 2027 to June 2028 are based on your 2026 tax return. The $50,000 threshold will be indexed to inflation in later years.
Before you count on it
Your child needs the Disability Tax Credit. The Province says families get the first payment automatically in July 2027 if the CRA "has approved a Disability Tax Credit Certificate (T2201) for 2027 for your child" and they've filed their 2026 tax return. The CRA's processing takes 10 to 15 weeks, so we recommend applying before the end of 2026.
- No application to the Ministry. The CRA pays the Supplement automatically each month with the Canada Child Benefit, the Child Disability Benefit and the BC Family Benefit.
- First payment in mid-July 2027. Autism Funding ends March 31, 2027, so families who rely on the Supplement face about three and a half months without it. Read about the 3.5-month funding gap.
- Tax-free. The Province describes the Supplement as "a tax-free monthly payment."
- Paid until 18. The Supplement is for children under 18. The separate Disability Benefit runs to age 19.
- Even if your income is too high for the BC Family Benefit, you may still receive the Supplement.
The Province also has its own official estimator. For more on the Supplement, the Disability Benefit and the DTC, see our FAQ.
