The child tax credit increased from $2000 to $3000---or $3600 for children who are under 6 years old. The six months of payments you get between now and January 2022 will be half of the amount. The other half is refundable on your 2021 tax return that you prepare next year. The whole amount is a refundable amount.
If your child is 6 or older you will be getting $250 per month; under 6 you get $300 per month. 6 payments of $250 = $1500-----so at tax time you still have a remaining child tax credit of $1500.
