# How is CCS Calculated


# How is CCS Calculated

This article will assist you with understanding how CCS is calculated for your Families.

### Basic CCS Calculation

Hourly Rate of the Service/Maximum CCS hourly rate x Session hours x CCSS percentage x withholding = CCS
Total Fees - CCS = GAP

### Maximum Hourly Rates

**CBC** Hourly rate for the 2022/2023 financial year: $12.74
**OSHC** Hourly rate for the 2022/2023 financial year: $11.15

### Why can CCS Differ between Estimated CCS to Paid CCS?

Differences can occur for a few different reasons:

###### Scenario 1

The sessions are estimating at the current CCS% and Hours, however CCS have new information that will be reflected on finalised sessions.
If the CCS% or Hours is lower than when estimated, the GAP will go up. This will add a **debit** onto the Account as the Family will need to pay more to cover the invoice period.
If the CCS% or Hours are higher than when estimated, the GAP will go down. This could add a **credit** onto the Account if the Family has paid in Advance.

IF session hours > entitled hours THEN CCS hours = eligible hours
IF session hours <= entitled hours THEN CCS hours = session hours 

Total fees / session hours = hourly rate
IF hourly rate <= maximum hourly rate cap THEN CCS hourly rate = hourly rate
IF hourly rate > maximum hourly rate cap THEN CCS hourly rate = maximum hourly rate cap

### Why would CCS not be applied?

Have you:
- Checked the child has a Confirmed CWA CCS Enrolment
- Have a CCS%
- Have CCS hours changed
