We determine the unassisted classical capacity of every qubit generalized amplitude-damping channel, for all damping strengths and thermal occupations. It equals the one-shot Holevo capacity and is given by a one-variable maximum. A binary pure-state ensemble attains the one-use optimum, and its independent products attain the optimum at every block length. We also prove that one-shot Holevo capacity, minimum output entropy, and regularized unassisted classical capacity are additive under tensor product with every finite-dimensional completely positive trace-preserving partner channel.
