According to the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA), The Canada Workers Benefit (CWB) depends on your income, Your province/territory, and other factors.
The Basic Amount goes as follows:
* $1,395 for single individuals
The amount is gradually reduced if your adjusted net income is more than $22,944. No basic amount is paid if your adjusted net income is more than $32,244.
* $2,403 for families
The amount is gradually reduced if your adjusted family net income is more than $26,177. No basic amount is paid if your adjusted family net income is more than $42,197.
On top of this, the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) Calculates your payment amount based off these factors:
- marital status - eligible spouse
- province or territory of residence
- earned working income
- adjusted family net income
- eligible dependants
- eligibility for the disability tax credit
Since the calculation is not a linear one, it could be multiple factors like marital status, or dependants ontop of the income that you are earning. The Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) offers a calculation sheet where you can fact-check the numbers: CRA - Calculation Sheets for the CWB
