is the increase in child tax credit enough to offset the elimination of the personal exemption?

I didn't realize they increased the child tax credit, I thought it was just the EIC.

Can someone confirm?

Increased Child Tax Credit: For, families with children the Child Tax Credit is doubled from $1,000 per child to $2,000. In addition, the amount that is refundable grows from $1,100 to $1,400. The bill also adds a new, non-refundable credit of $500 for dependents other than children. Finally, it raises the income threshold at which these benefits phase out from $110,000 for a married couple to $400,000.

2000, up from 1000. These were/are tax credits meaning they come off your tax bill.

You lose the 4000 personal exemption for a dependent tho. Which would have been a 480 tax savings for a family making under 75,000.

so the net gain for a family making 75,000 or under.
2000
-1000
-480 (12% of the 4000 deduction)
$520 savings under new plan.
