Prince Edward Island child benefit

The Prince Edward Island child benefit (PEICB) is a tax-free amount paid to help low- to medium-income families with the cost of raising children. The first PEICB payments will be issued on January 20, 2025 with the Canada child benefit (CCB).

For January to June 2025, you may be eligible to receive:

• $30 per month for each child under 18 years of age if your adjusted family net income is less than $45,000;
• $20 per month for each child under 18 years of age if your adjusted family net income is between $45,000 and $80,000.

If your adjusted family net income is greater than $80,000, the amount is reduced to zero.

The PEICB is combined with the CCB into a single monthly payment.

This program is fully funded by the province of Prince Edward Island.
