Business Impact of Child Care Calculator

What affects your employees affects your bottom line

More than half of working parents say child care issues have caused them to arrive late, leave early, or struggle to stay focused. Nearly two-thirds have missed full days of work, and more than one in four have left a job entirely because care was too hard to find or afford. Every one of those moments carries a price tag for employers.

See what it costs your business

The calculator makes the impact clear. Enter your company’s size, number of employees with young children, and total annual wages. The tool will estimate the annual cost of child care challenges through lost productivity, missed workdays and the expense of replacing employees who quit.

This calculator and its output are estimates based on actual data to illustrate the impact, and based on the Louisiana Policy Institute for Children’s Economic Impact Calculator for Businesses.
