Nunavut benefits

From the All the Numbers wiki · Retirement and benefits

CRA pays them on family net income from the base year (as for the Canada Child Benefit).

Nunavut Child Benefit

$696 a year for each child under 18, less 5% of family income over $22,065 (3% with one child). A parent with shared custody gets half the difference the shared children make. It comes with the CCB each month.[1]

What it does not do

The Territorial Workers' Supplement for working families is not modelled: it is in the territory's statute but not on CRA's 2026 page. The Senior Citizen Supplementary Benefit is run by the territory. See income tax in Nunavut.
