It will depend on your income, but if you're above ~$70k or so (for a household if that applies), you'll get all of it.
So to clarify with a specific example, I "owed" about $1500 when I filed my taxes this year, but I got the credit since my tax was much higher than that. In the end, they refunded me $6k.
