Beta Childcare Cost Calculator
What childcare costs from birth to school start, and what it costs as a share of income.
Childcare at $300 a week for four days is $11,520 a year and $46,080 to school start — about 23% of a $4,500 monthly household income, which is where the cost becomes a work decision rather than a budget line.
