Affordability Calculator
Wisconsin Early Childhood Association partnered with the Committee for Economic Development to develop a calculator tool that allows users to select their county and determine whether or not a family can access the licensed child care market after paying for basic monthly expenses.
In Wisconsin, raising a family with children is expensive. Whether or not a family can afford child care depends on income remaining after paying basic household expenses. The family calculator is a policy tool that allows users to select their county and based on median income for that county, see whether or not a family can access the licensed child care market after paying basic monthly expenses.
