DAILY CHILDCARE COST

Determine the net daily cost of your childcare services

This calculator enables you to compare the daily rate for subsidized childcare services with non-subsidized childcare services, taking into account the tax assistance from Québec and the federal government.

Subsidized childcare

In the fall 2019 Update on Québec’s Economic and Financial Situation, the government announced that the additional contribution for subsidized childcare services was being eliminated starting in the 2019 taxation year.

Therefore, parents will no longer have to pay the additional contribution when they file their 2019 personal income tax return in spring 2020.

All parents will thus pay a single reduced rate of $8.25 in 2019 or $8.35 in 2020 for subsidized childcare services.

Non-subsidized childcare

Parents with children attending a non-subsidized childcare service are entitled to a refundable tax credit for childcare expenses that reimburses between 75% and 26% of eligible childcare expenses paid, depending on family income.
