CCS Calculator

Child Care Subsidy Calculator

The Child Care Subsidy (CCS) is an Australian Government subsidy that offers financial assistance to help cover the cost of childcare. How much you receive depends on eligibility criteria, including your income, activity, and the daily fees charged by your childcare provider. Knowing your CCS entitlements is critical, because it helps you understand how much care you can access and what your out-of-pocket costs will be. To help you understand your Child Care Subsidy and how much CCS you could be eligible to receive, we have created a Child Care Subsidy Calculator.
