The estimated full year cost of increasing the monthly rate of child benefit by €5, from €140 to €145, is €76.0 million.
This costing is based on the estimated number of beneficiaries in 2026 and is subject to change in light of emerging trends and subsequent revision of the estimated number of number of beneficiaries.
