Child Benefit and tax charge calculator
Estimate full-year Child Benefit and the High Income Child Benefit Charge for 2026/27.
Before you start: This assumes every child entered qualifies for the full 52 weeks. Use the higher-income partner’s adjusted net income after eligible adjustments, which may differ from salary. The charge is 1% for each £200 above £60,000, up to 100%. The tool does not check eligibility or part-year claims.
