Your estimate is based on

Estimate only, based on our current daily fees, a 12-hour day, and 2026–27 CCS hourly rate caps and income thresholds. The per-year subsidy and inclusions figures assume 48 weeks of attendance a year. Assumes the standard subsidy taper (1% per $5,000 over $88,520, reaching 0% at $538,520+), the 3-Day Guarantee (72 subsidised hours/fortnight for everyone), and — if selected above — 100 subsidised hours/fortnight where you and your partner each do 48+ hours of recognised activity, or where an Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander child is in this care arrangement. If you've indicated this is your second or younger child, we've added the higher rate (standard + 30 percentage points, capped at 95%, unavailable above $370,727 combined income). If enrolled in our funded Kindy program, assumes Free Kindy is delivered as 2 × 7.5-hour days (15 hours a week) at no cost, with remaining hours billed as long day care and assessed under CCS as normal. Doesn't include the Additional Child Care Subsidy or exemptions (e.g. Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander children, hardship). Your actual subsidy is confirmed by Services Australia.
