Care budget planner

Compare two care budgets

Use your own written quotes to estimate recurring costs. This tool does not recommend care or predict public funding.

Enter costs in Canadian dollars. Weekly home-care costs are converted using 52 ÷ 12 (about 4.33 weeks per month). For a residence, enter the recurring package price under fixed monthly care costs and leave hours and hourly rate at zero.

Include taxes and fees where applicable in your figures. Enter only confirmed monthly assistance, not an expected benefit. One-time setup costs are shown separately. Empty fields count as zero.

Inputs are processed in this browser only. No figures are sent to this site or saved to browser storage.

Option B

The annual figure assumes 12 months at the same recurring cost and excludes setup. This is a planning calculation, not financial advice, a tax calculation or a provider quote.
