Childcare is often a household's largest line item after housing. Seeing the monthly and annual totals together helps you plan around it.
How to use it
Enter the number of children and the typical weekly cost per child, then add any monthly extras like after-school care, babysitting, or summer programs. The calculator converts everything to a monthly and annual total, plus a per-child figure.
