Caregiver Cost Calculator Guide (Singapore)

Budget for more than salary

A caregiver budget should include monthly salary, foreign worker levy, insurance, food and accommodation, transport, and one-time hiring costs. Subsidies and levy concessions may reduce the amount eligible families pay.

• Monthly recurring costs and employer obligations
• Initial agency, permit, medical, and placement costs
• Government grants and concessions to investigate

Use the estimate to compare options

Calculate a realistic monthly total before comparing live-in care, day care, or a nursing home. Actual costs depend on the arrangement and should be confirmed with the relevant provider or agency.
