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.

This is the method behind the answer, so the result can be checked rather than simply trusted.
