High Income Child Benefit 07 - Total amount of child benefit received

Based on the information entered in the above fields your child benefit value is shown in this box. This has been calculated based on the child benefit allowance per week for 6 April 2020 to 5 April 2021.

Eldest or only child from 6 April 2020 £21.05.

Other children from 6 April 2020 £13.95.

Child benefit is worked out by a weekly figure and multiplied by the number of weeks you received it, or the tax year if you received it for the whole of the year. The number of weeks in the tax year depends on how many Mondays there are in the tax year.

Example 1
You have 2 children and you have received child benefit for the whole of the tax year.
£21.05, (Eldest child rate) + £13.95 (Other children rate) x 52 (number of Mondays in the year) = £1,820.

Example 2
You have 4 children and you have received child benefit for the whole year.
£21.05 (Eldest child rate) + £13.95 x 3 (Other child rate) x 52 (number of Mondays) = £3,270.80.

Round the figure down to £3,270.

This value will be included in your tax calculation when determining your tax charge.
