How to use this calculator
Enter the number of hours of care per week, choose between gratuitous and commercial rates, and specify the hourly rate. The calculator will compute the annual and total care claim.

Care & Attendance

Calculate the cost of care across multiple periods using published care rates. Each period row uses the rate current for the dates selected.

Basic Parameters

Each period row has its own rate-type — e.g. Aggregate for the acute phase, Day Aggregate later (Andy Roy KC's suggestion, 4 Jun 2026). This sets the default for newly added rows.

Also settable per period — e.g. hours per day during the acute phase, per week later.
