Could you provide a source that childcare costs that much, even in a major city? How is it calculated? If that number were true, vast swaths of people could not afford to have children.
- martinald 5y agohttps://www.care.com/c/how-much-does-child-care-cost/ https://www.care.com/c/how-much-does-child-care-cost/ suggests the average is about 1/3rd of that. But I wouldn't be surprised in NYC or SF/SV it could be that high.
- kmonad 5y agoThank you. These numbers look more realistic in most cases. Also, without being too sure, an additional dependent should reduce the tax burden at the marginal rate. Not sure how much this actually yields. *edited as I made an incorrect assumption just now.

- shmatt 5y agoA cost of a nanny (on the books) or a full time 8am-6pm-ish day care 5 days a week in SF/NYC/Seattle There aren't even that many options for parents, many under 5 day care companies won't do 10 hour days. Lots of "2s programs" which means 3 hours 3 times a week where I am.
