CalculationTime keeps the method visible so the number can be checked instead of blindly trusted.
CCS percent starts at 90% up to $80,000 and tapers to 0% by $530,000 in this planning model. Weekly fee = daily fee x days. Weekly CCS = min(daily fee, $14.29/hour cap) x CCS percent x 8 hours x days. Out-of-pocket = weekly fee - weekly CCS.

Formula
CCS percent starts at 90% up to $80,000 and tapers to 0% by $530,000 in this planning model. Weekly fee = daily fee x days. Weekly CCS = min(daily fee, $14.29/hour cap) x CCS percent x 8 hours x days. Out-of-pocket = weekly fee - weekly CCS.
Worked example
At $120,000 income, four $130 childcare days and 16 activity hours, the model gives about 82% CCS and roughly $144 weekly out-of-pocket.

Methodology & Accuracy
How this calculator is checked
CalculationTime pages are built around visible arithmetic: the formula, assumptions, worked example and practical limitations are shown so the result can be checked rather than simply trusted.
Formula used
CCS percent starts at 90% up to $80,000 and tapers to 0% by $530,000 in this planning model. Weekly fee = daily fee x days. Weekly CCS = min(daily fee, $14.29/hour cap) x CCS percent x 8 hours x days. Out-of-pocket = weekly fee - weekly CCS.
Standard or basis
Basis: simplified Australian CCS planning model using a $14.29 hourly cap example. Confirm current Services Australia rules before budgeting.
Where a calculator follows a named legal, trade or industry standard, that standard is cited visibly. Otherwise the page uses transparent general arithmetic and states its limits.
