How much does it cost to raise a child in different US cities

Childcare is an expensive pleasure almost throughout the country. A Department of Labor analysis found that raising a child costs families about eight percent of their income. Respondents to a recent survey overwhelmingly support legislation that will provide affordable childcare. According to some estimates, the current cost of raising a child in the United States is about $20 per year. Edition digg prepared a ranking of the cheapest and most expensive cities to raise children in the United States.

To determine how the cost of raising a child differs, SmartAsset used the Massachusetts Institute of Technology's cost of living calculator to analyze differences between America's largest metropolitan areas.

Main findings of the study

In the United States, the most conservative estimate of the annual cost of raising a child is $14.

Childcare typically accounts for half the cost of raising a child, and is estimated to cost Americans an average of $754 per month (or $9051 per year).

Individually, some of the highest childcare costs in the US are over $17 per year in the Ann Arbor and Kalamazoo Portage metro areas in Michigan, and the Barnstable Town and Boston Cambridge Newton metro areas in Massachusetts. .
