How much do you think a toddler costs monthly?

Question

Answer

It really depends on a lot of factors. So it could vary from month to month. Do you have health insurance to cover medical expenses if needed? You will have to pay the health insurance monthly, and then you will have to pay any co-pays or deductibles as needed. Do you plan on having the child in daycare 5 days a week? That in itself is like having another rent. At least $1000, plus all of the other expenses. ￼If you don’t include medical expenses, or daycare, I would say bare minimum 500 a month between food, clothing, ￼activities, diapers, toiletries, skin care, medicine, vitamins, etc.

Answer

For food, clothes, and toys, definitely under $500
If you have to add daycare into that then it depends on how often, and where you live.

Answer

It depends my kids don't go to daycare so I say 500 or less

Answer

Daycare alone for ours was 2500. And then you factor in some extra food, clothing, toys, activities. It varies drastically depending on brands you choose and how much of everything you buy for them.

Answer

I pay for daycare/preschool so between those costs, food, diapers (my 2 year old is working on potty training and 4 year old fully potty trained), toys, activities, co-pays for doctors/dentist appt, clothes, etc we are probably at 750 per month per child. I won't even count birthdays and Christmas

Answer

Including insurance, food, medicine, catering to her dairy allergy, diapers, clothes, appointments, gas for appointments, ect? Definately over $600 per month. Add in our infant and we're about $800-900 a month.

Answer

I didn’t count daycare, because I work and earn money during those hours. I earn more than the costs of daycare. So I don’t know whether it would make sense to count daycare as a cost, since it’s actually enables us to have more income in the total picture

Answer

Way under $500 if not paying for childcare.
If paying for daycare, over $1000 easily.

Answer

I pay $730 a month for daycare for each of my kids, so definitely more than $500. :)

Answer

We pay far less than $500/month for our three year old. 
Childcare can add up very fast though so I can see how some parents would be paying $1000+
