    FTB Question

    Hi can anyone tell me how much income you have to earn before FTB a and b are decreased?

    I am a stay at home mum, not working. Hubby is the bread winner and our estimated income is $60,000. As far as i know we recieve full FTB a and b. Is this right?? I think i read somewhere that the FTB a starts to decrease once the income reaches $72,000 or something like that??
    I'm just trying to make sure we're getting the correct amount.
    cheers

    Hi, FTB limits vary depending on how manch children you have. In your case FTB A reduces to base rate at $72015 and cuts out all together at $111569. FTB B is based on the lower incomer earner. If the lower income earner receives under $4,672 then you would be entitled to max FTB B. It reduces by 20 cents for each dollar of income earned above that amount. As your youngest is under 5 the max the lower earner could receive before it stopped all together would be $23,817.
