How much money are we talking about?

What amounts are involved?

The amount you receive depends on many factors:

  • the region (Brussels, Wallonia, Flanders)
  • the place of the child in the family (oldest child, youngest child)
  • the age of your child(ren)
  • your family income
  • ...

Fortunately, we designed a handy calculator so you can calculate your future amount in a few clicks.

Our partner; the village

INFINO_ICON_640X640_group

What does Infino stand for?

You are more than welcome

At Infino, we believe EVERY child deserves an equal chance in a better world. You want to see your child grow up in a healthy and stable environment. We want that too. Dare to grow together, that is our motto. And we mean it.

We distinguish ourselves every day by the way we communicate.

  • Stronger together: every origin, every family, every background... Together we form a community. No distinctions, just togetherness.
  • Your children matter: it doesn't matter whether you have a big or small budget to entertain your child. We provide plenty of fun tips and ideas to make your little angels laugh. Pssst... often with recycled materials too.
  • We understand you: at Infino, we recognise the difficulties we go through as parents. It's okay to have a down day. It's okay not to be perfect. Every parent does everything possible. We are proud of all parents!

Together for a more viable Belgium

A better world for every child

Daring to grow together. That also means leading by example. Infino thinks inclusively, which means we consider ALL families. Newly composed, single people, new residents in Belgium.... It doesn't matter who you are, what you do or where you come from. You are welcome!

We also fight against child poverty. That's why we set up an enterprise fund in cooperation with the Pelicano Foundation.

And erm, we don't forget Mother Nature either. Infino is planting a forest of more than 10,000 trees. Why? Because we are borrowing the world from our children.

Extra care for the vulnerable

We pay extra attention to the vulnerable in our society. We assist vulnerable parents with correct, clear information on benefits and provide personal advice. We also do our bit to combat child poverty, for example through our cooperation with the Pelicano Foundation.

Living with a college student? Some advice for the parents...

This period is not only difficult for the students who are blocked. Parents also feel the pressure that their student experiences. Good news for all those parents: we developed a 'question trail' that effortlessly leads you to the right answer.

Avoid a pay-back

We like to keep in close contact with you. First of all, we would like to hear how you and your child(ren) are doing.
