How RRSP Contributions Affect Canada Child Benefit

Updated: 2026-03-046 min read

RRSP and Canada Child Benefit

The Canada Child Benefit (CCB) is based on family net income.

RRSP contributions reduce taxable income, which can increase your CCB payments.

Example

• Family income: $80,000
• RRSP contribution: $10,000
• Adjusted income: $70,000

Lower income can increase CCB eligibility.
