The estimated additional cost of a double Child Benefit payment month in 2024 is €180.5 million, per double payment month. This would be in addition to the current estimated expenditure of €2,166.1 million on Child Benefit in 2024.
This costing is based on the estimated number of recipients in 2024, and is subject to change in light of emerging trends and subsequent revision of the estimated number of recipients.
