How it works

Family arrival and care budget

Plan a chosen 1–24 month period using your actual USD estimates. Recurring costs include care, supplies, feeding, clothing, healthcare and other needs. One-time equipment, agency or legal fees and travel remain explicit. Reduced take-home income is shown as a separate household funding effect.

Outflows = months × recurring costs + one-time costs; funding effect = outflows + entered take-home income reduction.
