Subsidy Calculator
Child Care Fee Subsidy is calculated based on income. The Child Care Fee Subsidy Calculator will provide an estimate of what your total daily child care costs (including all children) would be if in receipt of Fee Subsidy. If this number is lower than your actual total daily child care costs, you may be eligible for Child Care Fee Subsidy. If you have any questions, please contact us prior to completing an application.
