Yukon Child Benefit: how much can you get per child?

YukonFamilyChecked November 13, 2026

The Yukon child benefit is a monthly, tax-free amount for low- and modest-income families. The CRA pays it with the Canada child benefit (CCB), and the Government of Yukon funds it.

How much

The CRA Yukon page lists $80.50 per child per month. The amount is reduced when adjusted family net income is above $35,000.

When it's paid

Monthly, combined with the Canada child benefit payment from the CRA. The Government of Yukon funds this benefit.

Who qualifies

  • You live in Yukon
  • You care for at least one child under 18
  • You qualify for the Canada child benefit (CCB)
  • Your adjusted family net income is $35,000 or less (the benefit is reduced above $35,000)
  • You file a tax return every year, even with no income

How to apply

  1. Apply for the Canada child benefit with the CRA (at birth registration, through My Account, or by form)
  2. File your tax return every year, including your spouse or partner if you have one
  3. The CRA calculates the Yukon child benefit with your CCB; there is no separate form

What to have ready

  • Social Insurance Number
  • Child's birth registration or proof of birth
  • Your most recent notice of assessment

Common mistakes to avoid

  • Not filing a tax return because you had no income
  • Not telling the CRA after a move to or from Yukon
  • Assuming the full $80.50 applies when income is above $35,000
Still being confirmed: The CRA page gives $80.50 per child per month but does not say which benefit year it covers. Check with the CRA or the Government of Yukon before relying on the amount for a given year. Check the official page for the latest details.
