In Stockholm, Sweden you pay maximum 3% of your salary for your first kid, with a max 1 688 SEK. For the second child you pay another 2% (1125 SEK) and %1 for the third (563 SEK). From the fourth kid there is no charge.
- ginko 3y agoWhat does that even mean? I assume you're referring to the cost of kindergarten? That's just a small part of the overall cost of childcare.
- AndrewDucker 3y agoNot here (UK), where it costs over £1,000 per child per month for care.
- robertlagrant 3y agoThis depends on the age of the child, of course. If you want them looked after full time from 6 months it's a lot more; if you want them in after school club when they're 7 so you don't see them til 6pm then it's much less.
- constantly 3y agoIn America my friends pay $3,500 per child per month. The grass is always greener I suppose.
- white_dragon88 3y agowtf on???
- lotsofpulp 3y ago$3,500 per month must be 99th percentile daycare cost in the US. Most people play $1,500 to $2,500, for dedicated daycare facilities with the prescribed 4:1 or 7:2 teacher:infant ratio.
- mynameisash 3y agoOut of curiosity, I did some spelunking. The US Department of Labor has stats[0] which summarize county-level "median yearly prices for one child at the market rate." Still TBD what the comprehensive data show at P99. That said, among the county-level medians, it appears the maximum estimated cost in 2023 is in Arlington County, VA, at $28,747 for a single infant, which is $2400/mo.

- midasuni 3y agoHopefully that’s the infant:teacher ratio. 4 teachers per infant seems a little extreme, and means massive underpaid adults!
- lotsofpulp 3y agoIf I was the adult, I would need a 4 adult to 1 infant ratio. But yes, thanks for the correction.
- wharvle 3y agoGotta be San Francisco rates, or a very fancy place. Nicer daycares (usually Montessori schools that also take kids under a year) in our US city are around $900-$1200/m. Less-nice, $700-900.
- light_hue_1 3y agoNo idea where you live. But the cost in sf, nyc, Boston, Seattle is all about 3k/month.
- sevagh 3y agoYou have to pay that fee to bring the kid back from the hospital.

- holoduke 3y agoThe Netherlands is different: I have 4 kids. All going to daycare 3 days a week. Total costs 3000 euros. I get back arround 700 from the government. Still 2300 euros. Thats 100 euros more than my rent. Kids are expensive.
- seszett 3y agoIsn't daycare cost indexed on income in the Netherlands? It is here in Flanders, and I think it's quite reasonable (also, government subsidy goes directly to the creche, so you only pay the remainder). About 100 euros per child/day/week, in our case. That's cheaper than for you, but I suppose our income is rather lower since 2200 euros/month rent seems awfully high to me, in the end it seems more or less the same relative to what we pay for housing. It's also rare to have 4 children going to daycare at the same time, since they go to school at 2,5 years old, so the costs don't last for long.
- holoduke 3y agoAfter school care is also a form of daycare in the netherlands. Called BSO. It rougly the same price. Less hours, but higher hourly rate.
- seszett 3y agoI see. Here nabewaking is much cheaper, a couple euros per day at most (maybe more in expensive private schools, I don't know). It makes sense to me because it's much easier to keep older children compared to babies.
- Balgair 3y agoIs that 3kE per week? or per year? Because 3kE per week is more in line with US costs
- brewdad 3y agoNo one in the US outside of the billionaire/ultra high millionaire class is paying $150,000 a year for child care.
- AlgorithmicTime 3y agoThat's absurdly cheap... I pay about $900/mo per child.
