Family Tax Benefit Part A

A per-child Centrelink payment that helps eligible families cover the everyday cost of raising children. The payment rate is income-tested and gradually reduces as family income rises above the relevant thresholds, making it an important input for families modelling life with kids.

Part A is paid per child and sits alongside Family Tax Benefit Part B, which is paid per family. You generally cannot get Family Tax Benefit on the same days you receive government Paid Parental Leave - Canwi adjusts FTB when a Parental Leave event overlaps.

For how Canwi models Family Tax Benefits - including assumptions, limitations, and how Part A and Part B are calculated in your plan - see Family Tax Benefit (A/B) and Family Tax Benefits in the Canwi Help Center.
