Single parents can spend significantly more on childcare than couples: WalletHub
SUMMARY: New WalletHub research reveals single parents face significantly higher childcare costs than couples, sometimes spending over 50% of their median income, compared to about 13% for married couples. In Washington, D.C., single parents pay nearly half their income on childcare, while in Florida, it’s 28.6% versus 10% for couples. Rising costs put families in financial strain, and companies are increasingly offering childcare benefits to attract employees. Florida incentivizes businesses with tax credits for on-site childcare or subsidies. Experts advise parents to budget for worst-case childcare expenses and urge policymakers to explore cost-reducing strategies used in other states.
