Child Care Subsidy Calculator

This Child Care Subsidy Calculator (CCS Calculator) is developed for Australian parents to estimate their possible Child Care Subsidy payment amount from the Australian Government and out-of-pocket child care costs when using Centre Based Day Care, Family Day Care or Outside School Hours Care. For In Home Care Child Care Subsidy estimation please use the In Home Care Child Care Subsidy Calculator.

Aiming to help parents understand some very important questions about the new Child Care Subsidy such as “How much childcare subsidy do I get” and “How is child care subsidy calculated”, this CCS Calculator is based on the publicly available guidelines and publications about Child Care Subsidy that can be found in the Child Care Subsidy Guide by the Department of Education and Training, Australian Government. The Child Care Subsidy rates that take effect on 8 July 2024 for Financial Year 2025 (FY25) are being used. However, the results from this childcare subsidy calculator are only indicative and informative. The estimation of your childcare subsidy will be based on the information you provide. If any information provided is inaccurate, the estimation could be incorrect.
