It’s time to estimate your 2025-26 family income

Published: 15 May 2025

You need to estimate your family income so you can get the right amount of Family Tax Benefit (FTB) and Child Care Subsidy (CCS).

If you get FTB or CCS, you need to tell us how much your income will be for the 2025-26 financial year. If you have a partner, we need their income too. We call this your family income estimate.

Your family income estimate needs to be as accurate as possible. This is so you get the right amount. It also reduces the risk of you being paid too much and getting a debt.

You can estimate your income online using your Centrelink online account or the Express Plus Centrelink mobile app.
