Childcare-centre calculators
Help parents understand what care at your centre may actually cost.
A ParentMath-hosted calculator using your own daily fees, followed by a clear path to your enrolment enquiry.
Centre calculator enquiries are open. ParentMath confirms the scope and fees before work starts.
What the calculator does
Give parents a useful estimate before the enrolment conversation.
Show the estimated CCS and gap
Parents enter family ATI, days and subsidised hours. The shared ParentMath engine calculates gross fees, estimated CCS and the gap.
Compare care patterns clearly
Weekly, monthly and annual figures let a parent compare the same centre fee across two, three, four or five days.
Connect the estimate to availability
The final action links to your existing enquiry page where possible. Financial inputs are not included in the enquiry.
Centre setup
ParentMath hosts and maintains the calculator.
Supply the approved centre details once. ParentMath configures the page, checks the fee outputs and gives you a link for your website, emails or enrolment team.
