Frequently Asked Questions
Is Child Benefit paid on Monday or Tuesday?
Child Benefit is usually paid every 4 weeks on a Monday or Tuesday. However, single parents or those on certain other benefits may receive it weekly.
Will I get my Child Benefit early for Easter 2026?
Yes. Since Easter Monday falls on April 6, 2026, payments due on that day will likely be paid on the previous Thursday or Friday.
Does the High Income Charge affect payment dates?
No, the High Income Child Benefit Charge affects the amount you may need to pay back in tax, but it does not change the schedule of the payments themselves.
