How this is calculated
- Weekly cost = hourly rate × hours per day × days per week.
- Monthly cost = weekly cost × 52 ÷ 12 (4.33 weeks), plus fixed monthly extras.
- Yearly cost = weekly cost × 52, plus 12 × fixed monthly extras.
- Higher weekend, night or holiday rates are not included unless you enter them as a separate scenario.
This is an estimate based only on the numbers you enter. It is not a quote and not a market average. Rates vary widely by region, provider and level of care, so check prices with local providers.
