What is Cost of Daycare?

The cost of daycare refers to the total amount of money required to pay for daycare services over a specified period. It is calculated by multiplying the number of days of care needed by the daily rate charged by the daycare provider. This metric is useful for budgeting and financial planning for families.

Example Calculations

Example 1:

Total Days of Daycare Needed (DD): 20 days
Daily Daycare Rate (DR): $50/day

Using the formula:

\[ CDC = 20 \times 50 = 1000 \text{ \$} \]

Example 2:

Total Days of Daycare Needed (DD): 15 days
Daily Daycare Rate (DR): $40/day

Using the formula:

\[ CDC = 15 \times 40 = 600 \text{ \$} \]
