Canada Carbon Rebate (CCR) Calculator
The Canada Carbon Rebate ended on April 1, 2025. This calculator looks up the final 2024-25 amount by province and household, for reference only.
What it does
This is a historical reference tool. The Canada Carbon Rebate ended on 1 April 2025, and the final payment was issued in April 2025. It looks up the final published 2024-25 annual amount a household would have received in one of the eight federal-backstop provinces.
Data sources & parameters
The figures below drive this calculator. We keep them aligned with the latest official guidance, and each result recalculates automatically whenever a value changes.

|---|---|---|---|
| Canada Carbon Rebate 2024-25 annual base amounts by province (first adult / second adult / per child), the rural supplement rate, and the province where the rural top-up is already inside the base amount. | Rate schedule | canada.ca | Effective 2024-04-01All 24 amounts, the 20 per cent rural top-up and the PEI exception read at Table 2 of the Department of Finance backgrounder; every figure matched. The programme ended with the April 2025 payment, so this table is final, not current. |
We always strive to use the latest data for every variable so our results and reports are as accurate as possible. Even so, errors are possible — you should not rely on this tool or its report alone, and we accept no liability for any decision made based on it.
The formula
Final annual CCR = (first adult + second adult + per child × remaining children) × (1 + 20% if rural)
How it works
It reads the final 2024-25 base amounts for your province, adds the second-adult amount for a spouse or a single parent's first child, adds the per-child amount for the rest, and applies the 20% rural supplement where it was payable.
Where it is used
- Checking the final 2024-25 Canada Carbon Rebate amount for reference
- Understanding how the rebate was built up for a household
- Confirming what the final April 2025 payment reflected
Worked example
An Alberta family of four received a final 2024-25 amount of …, made up of the first-adult, second-adult and two per-child amounts, paid as … per quarter until the program ended.
What the Canada Carbon Rebate calculator shows
The Canada Carbon Rebate ended on April 1, 2025, when the federal consumer fuel charge was removed, and the final payment was issued in April 2025. The amounts here are the final 2024-25 figures, shown for reference only. They do not represent a current entitlement, and nobody can still sign up for or receive the rebate.
The calculator looks up what a household in one of the federal-charge provinces would have received in the program’s final year. Choose your province, say whether the household had one or two adults, flag a single-parent family, enter the number of children under 19, and note whether the household was rural. The tool returns the final annual amount, the quarterly instalment, the base amount before the rural supplement, and the supplement itself.
Why the program ended in 2025
The Canada Carbon Rebate, earlier called the Climate Action Incentive Payment, returned the money collected by the federal fuel charge directly to households as a quarterly, tax-free deposit.
When the consumer fuel charge was removed effective April 1, 2025, the revenue that funded the rebate stopped, and the rebate was wound down. The April 2025 deposit was the last; there is no July 2025 payment and no federal successor rebate for consumers. The separate industrial carbon pricing system for large emitters was not part of this rebate, and ending the consumer charge did not by itself end carbon pricing for heavy industry.
How the final 2024-25 amounts worked
Each province had its own schedule, because the fuel charge raised different amounts in each. Within a province the annual amount was built from three published figures: an amount for the first adult, an amount for a second adult (a spouse, or a single parent’s eldest child), and an amount for each remaining child under 19. These were added together and multiplied by 1.20 if the household was rural.
The first adult always counted. A second adult added the spouse amount; in a single-parent family the eldest child was counted at the second-adult amount instead, and any further children at the per-child rate. The rebate was paid in four equal quarterly instalments.
A worked example
An Alberta family of four, two adults and two children, living in a city. Alberta’s final 2024-25 figures were $900 for the first adult, $450 for the second adult and $225 per child. The base is $900 + $450 + $225 + $225 = $1,800 for the year, paid as $450 a quarter. As an urban household it got no rural supplement, so the final annual amount was $1,800.
Move the same family to a rural area and the 20% supplement raises the total to $1,800 × 1.20 = $2,160 a year. A single parent in Ontario with two children shows the other rule: the first child counts at Ontario’s $280 second-adult amount and the second at the $140 per-child rate, on top of the $560 first-adult amount, for a base of $980.
The rural supplement
Households outside a Census Metropolitan Area received extra because rural residents had fewer low-carbon options. For 2024-25 the supplement was doubled from 10% to 20% of the base amount, and the higher rate was reflected in payments from October 2024. Prince Edward Island is the exception: the whole province was treated as rural, so the supplement was folded into PE’s published amounts and is not added a second time.
What the amounts did not include
The figure is the household Canada Carbon Rebate only. It does not model shared custody, where two parents each received half a child’s amount, or any provincial climate or affordability program. It also does not cover the separate rebate paid to small and medium-sized businesses, which worked differently.
Things to keep in mind
The rebate was tax-free right through to the final April 2025 payment: it never counted as income, was never reported on a return, and never reduced other benefits.
Every number here describes a program that has closed. The CRA set your actual past amounts from your filed tax returns, and for a question about a specific past payment, CRA My Account is the authoritative source.
What this means now
With the consumer charge gone, there is no federal rebate to estimate or budget for. Some provinces run their own climate or affordability payments on separate schedules; if you are looking for a current payment, check with your province. From April 2025, pump and heating prices no longer carry the federal charge and the quarterly rebate no longer arrives. This tool reconstructs what a household was entitled to in the final 2024-25 benefit year, so you can check an old payment or see how the amounts were built.
