Multiple child percentage calculation

Tony and Mary both work full-time and have 3 children. Their actual adjusted taxable income is below $41,026 per year. They use long day care for all their children. Their multiple child percentage is calculated as follows:

100 x (maximum weekly benefit for all children in care / (maximum weekly benefit for one child in the type of care x all children in that type of care))

  • = 100 x {701.14 / (215.00 x 3)}
  • = 100 x {701.14 / 645.00}
  • = 100 x 1.087
  • = 108.7%
