Bonus na dítě

child bonus — part of super-assistance

What does “Bonus na dítě” mean in Czechia?

Bonus na dítě (child bonus) is one of four parts of the super-benefit (state social assistance benefits), introduced by Act No. 151/2025 Coll. from 01.10.2025. This act replaced the former přídavek na dítě (child allowance), which no longer exists as a separate benefit.

Conditions

household income is up to 4× the minimum living standard
the child attends school
there is employment in the household

How it works in practice

there is no separate application for the child bonus — it is calculated within one application for the super-benefit
the application is submitted online through Jenda, one application for the whole household
a common asset test and the requirement of work activity ≥ 30 hours/month or registration at the Labour Office (ÚP) apply

Do not confuse

Daňový bonus na děti (tax bonus for children) is a completely different, tax-related mechanism calculated by the employer or in a tax return. The child bonus is a social component of the super-benefit from the Labour Office (ÚP).

Important. Child bonus — this is not a separate payment, but part of a single super-allowance: you cannot apply "only for it". And this is NOT the same tax bonus for children that is calculated from salary or tax return.

Examples of use

The child bonus is part of one state social assistance benefit.

We have a right to a child bonus because the household income is not more than four times the minimum living standard.
