AISH Calculator Alberta
Estimate your monthly AISH payment, child benefit, income exemption, clawback, and take-home income using 2026 Alberta rates.
What is AISH?
AISH stands for Assured Income for the Severely Handicapped. It is an Alberta government program that provides financial and health benefits to eligible adult Albertans with a permanent medical condition that prevents them from earning a living. This calculator estimates the monthly living allowance portion before an official AISH worker reviews your full situation.
Important
AISH looks at more than employment income, including spouse or partner income, non-exempt assets, CPP Disability, EI, WCB, and other benefits. Use this as a planning estimate, then confirm with Alberta Supports.

How the calculation works+
Living allowance: The standard 2026 AISH living allowance is $1,940.00/month before income reductions.
Child benefit: AISH may add $232.00/month for the first dependent child and $117.00/month for each additional dependent child.
Employment exemption: Singles can have up to $1,072.00 fully exempt, to a maximum exemption of $1,541.00. Families can have up to $2,612.00 fully exempt, to a maximum exemption of $2,981.00.
Clawback: Employment income left after the exemption is deducted from the AISH living allowance.
Taxes: AISH payments are not taxable income. Only employment earnings are subject to federal and Alberta income tax.
