\nParents and carers can now claim \u00a325.60 per week in Child Benefit for their first child and \u00a316.95 for any other children they have. There\u2019s no limit on the number of children they can claim for.
\nChild Benefit is worth \u00a31,331.20 a year for the first child and \u00a3881.40 a year for each additional child. It\u2019s paid into bank accounts every four weeks (or weekly in certain circumstances).
\nWe\u2019ve also made claiming Child Benefit easier than ever. Parents no longer need a paper form to claim and can do it quickly and conveniently via the HMRC app or online. Claims are backdated for up to three months.<\/p>\n
\nIn April 2024, the amount people can earn before they start paying the High Income Child Benefit Charge (HICBC) increased to \u00a360,000.
\nFor parents and carers who have not yet claimed Child Benefit, or who opted out of payments and have income between \u00a360,000 and \u00a380,000, it can be worth their while financially to claim.
\nThe quickest and easiest way to claim is through the free HMRC app or online.
\nIf they already claim but have opted out of payments, they don\u2019t need to claim again \u2013 the parent or carer that originally claimed can simply opt back in on the app or online.<\/p>\n
