Is child benefit worth it if your partner earns more then 60k and will have to pay the extra tax?

Just that really… I have a DD and never claimed child benefit. Due to have twins soon and wondered if it was worth it if partner has to pay higher tax because of it?
Anyone else been on similar situation?
Cheers!

60k after limited deduction, ie. pension, charity donations, but not tax.

You can backdate it by 3mos. It’s definitely worth it for the NI credits in your name.

It definitely will be. As pp said, tax isnt relevant. But even if he makes no pension and charity contributions at all, 70k would still entitle you to about half of child benefit. And he probably makes at least some, so it'll likely be higher.
