This topic shows the calculation of the approved care CCB adjustment percentage (1.1.A.40) for an individual with 2 non-school children (1.1.S.15) in LDC for 40 hours per week. The family's ATI (1.1.A.20) is $94,000 per year. The adjustment percentage is determined by calculating the:
Act reference: FAAct Schedule 2 clause 2 CCB rate calculator
Policy reference: FA Guide 3.5.2.10 CCB Overall Rate Calculation - Approved Care, 3.5.2.20 Calculating the Approved Care Adjustment Percentage
The following table shows the 5 steps in calculating the individual's MWB.

1 |
ATI of $94,000 is above the upper income threshold (1.1.I.70) of $92,658. |
- |
|
2 |
The family does not receive income support (1.1.I.50) nor is it in an employment income nil rate period. |
|
|
3 |
Determine the weekly income excess: - Determine the income threshold - Deduct the income threshold from ATI = $94,000 - $92,658 - Divide by 52 to express as a weekly amount. - Result: Weekly income excess |
92,658.00
1,342.00
25.81 |
|
4 |
Determine the weekly taper amount: - Weekly income excess. - Multiply by taxable income taper percentage (1.1.T.40) of 25% - Result: Weekly taper amount |
25.81
6.45 |
|
5 |
Determine the MWB: - Calculate the income excess as if the family's ATI is the upper income threshold = ($92,658 - $39,785) ÷ 52 = $52,873 ÷ 52 - Multiply by the relevant taxable income taper percentage of 15% - Result: Specific taper amount (1.1.S.95)
- Take the MWB that would apply if the family's ATI was below the upper income threshold = ($3.78 x 100) + $17.00 - Deduct the specific taper amount (1.1.S.95). - Result: MWB |
1,016.79
152.52
395.00 152.52 242.48 |
The following table shows the 6 steps in calculating the individual's adjustment percentage.

% |
|
1 |
Determine the taxable income percentage: - Divide the weekly taper amount by the relevant MWB and express the result as a percentage = ($6.45 ÷ $242.48) x 100 - Deduct the resulting percentage from 100%. - Result: Taxable income percentage |
2.66 97.34 |
|
2 |
Determine the multiple child percentage: - Take the MWB for one child in that type of care (1.1.T.70) = ($3.78 x 50) = $189.00 - Multiply by the number of children in that type of care = 2 - Result: Single child rate = $378.00 - Divide the family's MWB by the single child rate and express the result as a percentage = ($242.48 ÷ $378.00) x 100 - Result: Multiple child percentage |
64.15 |
|
3 |
Determine the CCB percentage: - Take the multiple child percentage. - Multiply by the taxable income percentage. - Result: CCB percentage |
64.15 97.34 62.44 |
|
4 |
Determine the part-time percentage (1.1.P.50): - Result: As the children are non-school children in LDC for 40 hours per week, the part-time percentage is 100%. |
100 |
|
5 |
Determine the schooling percentage (1.1.S.20): - Result: As the children are non-school children (1.1.S.15), the schooling percentage is 100%. |
100 |
|
6 |
Determine the adjustment percentage: - Take the schooling percentage. - Multiply by the part-time percentage. - Multiply by the CCB percentage. - Result: Adjustment percentage |
100 100 62.44 62.44 |
The individual may choose to round down their CCB percentage from 62.44% to 62%. This option was introduced in January 2003.
