How much of your daily pay is spent on childcare?

[Childcar12]

Just that really,I’ll start:
I earn 150ish per day 9-3ish
Childcare cost per day (nursery and Afterschool) is 20.

about half.

I've just tried to do the maths for it per day and failed, but I know that childcare (childminder 3.5 days a week for one 11 month old) is about a quarter of my take home pay.

Going back to work in September. Childcare (for 1 year old and 7 year old) will be 2/3 of my take home pay

Nursery is £43.50 a day, we then get tax free childcare so pay £34.80. My gross income is £81/day. DH is £101.75/day. So approx 20% or 1/5 of our daily pay is childcare

I forgot to add my dc are 3 and 6

When I first went back to work about 95% of my salary went on nursery fees. DS now has 3 year funding and I'm swaggering around like a Kardashian.

I earn £600 a week, nursery costs £100 a week but split between me and partner so only responsible for £50 so only 8%ish of my income

Since 30 hours came in, I'm only paying £20 snack money per term for the youngest. We do all pickups/drop offs ourselves. All 3 kids in school/preschool 9-3.

3%. 50/50 with dh, ds in playgroup/nursery at £10 per day (9-1.30). Dh works evenings 5-12 and I work 8.30 - 4. It used to be £50 a day at private nursery.

Net £365 a day, nursery is £47 so 13%

8% if you include DH

I am currently doing the maths. I work part time, and if I can get a place in my local centre, it would be exactly 50% of my take home pay per month.
My transport costs are also about 10% of my salary a month.
I am starting to think it's not worth it.

I was working 4 days and dropped to 3 as taking home £20 for the 4th day.

I finish mat leave in September. My daily income is around £180, DHs £125, nursery is £75-£85 depending if we need a long day, that's either 8-5:30 or 7:30-6:15 we have a tax free childcare account so get 20% from the government and because of consolidated working patterns for both of us and grandparents we will only use nursery one day a week.
