How are Family Tax Benefit payment rates worked out and where can I check the current amounts?

A ClaimWise Team Answered by

Family Tax Benefit (FTB) rates depend on factors including your family income estimate, the number and ages of your children, your percentage of care and whether you qualify for Part A, Part B or supplements. Part A is generally assessed per child, while Part B may depend on the youngest child’s age and each parent’s income. Rates and income thresholds can change, so an amount shown online may not apply to everyone or remain current. Check the latest figures and use the Payment and Service Finder at servicesaustralia.gov.au, or contact Services Australia for an assessment based on your circumstances.
