For the first time in history, the projected cost of raising a child from birth to 18 years old falls just short of $500,000, a rise that significantly adds to the child-rearing burden for average U.S. families. But how much does raising a child really cost?
This study will consider not only the costs traditionally associated with child-rearing, but also the compounding factors (such as lost earnings) that put the financial burden at a much higher level. We’ll also look at state differentials that can make a huge difference to child-rearing costs.
Let’s start by breaking down the basic figure and asking: what factors make up the near-$500,000 parental burden in the United States?
The Price Of Parenthood: A National Financial Snapshot
Every year, millions of American families begin what’s potentially the most financially consequential investment of their lives. In 2024, 3,628,934 births were registered in the United States (a 1% increase on 2023 figures). And in each case, parents of a newborn committed to a long and historically expensive journey.
According to a June 2025 report from the CDC’s National Center for Health Statistics, the average age of a first-time mother rose to 27.5 years in 2023. That reflects a clear indication that adults are continuing to delay parenthood as they deal with financial pressures and career demands. And when parenthood finally arrives, it represents yet another significant financial pressure.
2025 SmartAsset’s MIT Living Wage Calculator data tells us that the average annual cost of raising a child under five in the United States reached $27,743.
That’s a 4.5% increase on 2024 costs and outpaces the national inflation rate: from birth to the age of 18, it represents an estimated $471,948 (when adjusted for single-child household costs and age-appropriate childcare spend across three key developmental stages).
To put that figure into context, the national median household income in 2024 was $81,604 (according to the U.S. Census Bureau’s American Community Survey). That means that the estimated total cost of raising a child from birth to the age of 18 is six times higher than the amount a typical American household earns in a year.
But what are the factors that make up that figure?
Breaking Down The Parent Bill: The Cost of Raising One Child
Housing is the largest proportion of the $27,743 in question and makes up 31% of annual child-rearing costs; over the full 18 years, a child’s housing costs amount to $154,800.
That figure is not purely a reflection of the cost of a home. Instead, it’s the measurable increase in housing expenditure a child represents. A larger home with the necessary extra space; a bedroom that can no longer double as a home office; a suitable school district that costs more to live in, and so on.
Food is also a huge factor, and takes up 18% of annual child-rearing costs ($4,994 per year; $89,892 over 18 years). These figures reflect the household increase in food spend once a child is added to the family: whether that’s formula and baby food, school lunches and snacks, or the growing costs of feeding a hungry adolescent.
Health care accounts for 11% of annual child-rearing costs ($3,052 per year; $54,936 over 18 years). That figure encompasses pediatric visits, vaccines, dental and vision care, and the routine and unexpected medical costs that define a child’s life within an expensive national healthcare system.
Childcare and education, fourth on the child-rearing cost list ($52,476 across 18 years), often represents an initially eye-watering but gradually diminishing financial burden.
During early-year ages, full-time daycare costs on average $27,745 over five years. Costs then fall to an estimated $17,789 during school-age years, after-school programming replacing full-time care; costs then plummet to $6,942 during adolescence as extracurricular fees and school-related costs become the main spend. No other category shifts as dramatically across developmental stages, with early demands often destabilizing.
Transportation accounts for 10% of annual child-rearing costs ($2,774 per year, $49,932 across all 18 years) due to things like car seats, school transport, activity runs, and the incremental costs relating to an active child’s schedule.
Miscellaneous expenses (8%, $2,219 per year) account for $39,942 across 18 years. This category covers expenses such as school supplies, birthday parties, haircuts, holiday gifts, and all the other small, cumulatively significant costs associated with childhood.
Clothing is the final significant expense category and represents 6% of annual child-rearing costs ($1,665 a year, $29,970 in total). Children grow quickly and routinely require new things to wear: their wardrobe is usually extensive, featuring school as well as leisure wear, plus the cost of covering sporting activities and various kinds of footwear.
So, those are the seven categories that comprise an estimated $471,948 in child-rearing outlay from birth to the age of 18 in the United States. (Note: individual category figures are rounded to the nearest dollar; the number reflects an evolving financial responsibility that changes with every milestone.) Yet, the figure in question doesn’t cover the whole cost of child-rearing: there’s also the matter of lost income.
For example, a woman who earns $60,000 per year and leaves the workforce to care for a child could lose up to $100,000 in retirement savings (assuming a 7% rate of return), according to TIAA research. It’s clear that whatever the final estimated sum amounts to, it’s not just about adding up direct outlay. Taking the decision to become a parent can also prevent serious earning opportunities.
And location is also a key factor. In some states, taking the decision to become a parent can mean significantly higher levels of financial hardship than in others.
Where Child-Rearing Costs Hit Hardest Relative to Income
The true cost of raising a child can perhaps best be measured not by counting raw dollar expenditure but by the proportion of a family’s income it absorbs.
The ten states where child-rearing costs represent the greatest proportion of household income reveals a financial reality beyond receipts. In many parts of the country, having a child doesn’t merely equate to an added expense, it means restructuring the entire budget to accommodate a new member of the family.
And it hits hardest in Vermont, where annual child-rearing costs of $38,272 represent 46.3% of the state’s $82,730 median household income. That means the typical Vermont family with one child under five spends almost half their available income on that child’s basic needs.
Vermont’s top-ranking position is striking. Though it ranks only third for raw annual child-related outlay (behind Massachusetts and Connecticut), it’s subject to the highest overall burden due to wages that haven’t kept pace with the dramatic 25% year-over-year increase in child-rearing costs.
Connecticut (43.5%, annual child-rearing costs of $41,808 against a median household income of $96,049) takes second place, while Massachusetts, the most expensive state in raw dollar terms ($44,221 per year), ranks third on the proportional burden index with a cost ratio of 42.2%.
Massachusetts’ inclusion illustrates the limits of high earnings as a financial buffer. Even in the country’s wealthiest state, nearly $1 earned out of every $2.50 earned goes directly towards child-rearing.
For families with more than one child, or for single-parent households earning below the median rate, the burden is often too much, and leads to the necessity of significant outside support, subsidy, or debt.
New York and Minnesota complete the top five (38.8% and 38.1%), with Colorado, California, Washington, New Jersey, and Hawaii making up the rest of the top ten, each spending between 33% and 36% of their median household income on child-rearing costs.
The consistent presence of high-income coastal and northeastern states on the ranking list emphasizes a critical and counterintuitive insight: high wages don’t necessarily protect families against high parenthood costs.
In many of the country’s wealthiest states, the cost of raising a child has outpaced income growth to such an extent that even households earning well above the national median of $81,604 are finding that parenthood is a financial struggle.
And while child-rearing costs are a burden everywhere, in some states, costs are comparatively low.
The Ten Least Expensive States To Raise A Child
Many U.S. families pay less than the $27,743 child-rearing annual national average, with Mississippi requiring the lowest dollar outlay ($19,178 per year), followed closely by Alabama ($20,550), Kentucky ($20,758), South Dakota ($21,174), and Georgia ($21,299).
There’s a consistent pattern among the ten least expensive child-rearing states: southern and midwestern states dominate the list. Tennessee, Kansas, Louisiana, Arkansas, and Iowa round out the rankings, all costing far less than the national average rate.
Yet it’s not simply the case that parents moving to this part of the country are guaranteed better child-rearing affordability. When we measure child-rearing costs against median household income, the affordability picture shifts.
Mississippi families may pay the least in raw dollar terms, but against the state’s median household income ($59,127), the figure represents 32.4% of typical household earnings. That’s only slightly more affordable than Hawaii in terms of income proportion, which takes tenth spot on the least-affordable list.
Kentucky figures tell a similar story (32.2%), while Alabama, despite its low $20,550 annual child-rearing costs, still makes up 30.8% of the state’s $66,659 median household income.
This pattern reveals a structural reality that raw cost figures may obscure: the states with the lowest child-rearing costs are, in many cases, the states that feature the lowest median household incomes. So, the income burden percentage may remain elevated even as the raw cost appears low.
This dynamic is perhaps best exemplified by the figures of Louisiana and Arkansas.
Louisiana‘s annual child-rearing cost ($21,798) absorbs 35.7% of the state’s $60,986 median household income; for parents in Arkansas, its $21,840 annual child-rearing cost claims 35.2% of its $62,106 median. And these two figures exceed the income burden percentages of three states in the top ten most expensive ranking list.
In other words, a family in Louisiana faces a heavier proportional financial child-rearing burden than a family in Washington state, despite paying nearly $13,000 less per year. So, outright dollar costs may seem affordable in a very narrow sense yet remain illusory in real terms.
The only states where low costs translate into meaningfully lower income burden are South Dakota (27.5%) and Georgia (26.6%). In both cases, a combination of below-average child-rearing costs and relatively healthy median incomes produces the best examples of actual affordability.
Tennessee (29.8%), Iowa (29.4%), and Kansas (28.8%) are all also relatively affordable. For families ready to move to enjoy cheaper all-around child-rearing, these states represent meaningful options.
Affordability aside, the disparity between parents paying the most and least to bring up a child is shocking. At $19,178 per year, Mississippi families pay less than half the amount Massachusetts families pay ($44,221): a differential of $25,043 per year, or more than $450,000 over 18 years.
Overall, it’s clear from the data that geographical location does not necessarily offer a broad indication of comparative child-rearing affordability levels. For families in low-cost states, low incomes often negate any affordability benefits. Only with improved wages would child-rearing in many low-cost states allow for any kind of financial benefit.
And wherever a prospective parent lives, financial preparation is key.
Financially Preparing To Raise A Child
For families contemplating the estimated $471,948 it costs to raise a child from birth to the age of 18, the necessary financial preparation demands the restructuring of household financial priorities and a firm and well-planned strategy.
The first key factor (according to financial planners) is an emergency fund that amounts to three to six months of living expenses. Dual-income households don’t need as much in reserve as single-income households. That said, any household featuring children may need a larger-than-expected war chest to account for the unpredictability of child-related expenses.
Medical emergencies, unexpected childcare gaps, job disruptions, and the dozens of unplanned costs that may arrive without warning mean a robust emergency fund is a necessity for any family serious about financial stability.
That cushion matters more than most new parents anticipate: the combined costs of health care during pregnancy and a stay in the hospital for childbirth average nearly $19,000. And that’s before the 18-year parental financial commitment has officially begun.
Beyond the emergency fund, rising child-rearing costs mean that starting financial preparation can’t begin too soon. In 2000, a typical middle-income family could expect to spend $165,630 on raising a child to the age of 18. For a child born in 2015, the projected figure was $233,610. By 2025, the number was $471,948. That progression, from $165,630 to $471,948 in roughly 25 years, represents a 185% increase in the total cost of parenthood.
According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, daycare and preschool costs alone grew 28% between January 2015 and April 2025. Hospital charges for pregnancy and childbirth nearly doubled between 2000 and 2020, rising from an inflation-adjusted $11,218 to $27,938.
The cost of parenthood is rapidly accelerating: as such, families who delay financial preparation delay creating a potentially crucial failsafe before they face an increasingly expensive eventuality.
Financial planners recommend that prospective parents save at least 10 to 15% of their pre-tax income. Contributing $500 per month toward savings from the birth of a child (assuming a 6% rate of return) could produce approximately $199,000 by the time the child reaches college age.
Waiting until a child is in fourth grade shrinks that potential fund to roughly $64

Waiting until a child is in fourth grade shrinks that potential fund to roughly $64,000. That’s a $135,000 difference produced not by saving more but simply by starting sooner.
For parents navigating childcare costs, dependent care flexible spending accounts allow families to set aside up to $5,000 per year on a pre-tax basis for eligible childcare expenses. This benefit can meaningfully reduce the net cost of early-years daycare for families whose employers offer it.
The Child Tax Credit, worth up to $2,200 per qualifying child in 2025, and the Child and Dependent Care Credit, which covers between 20% and 35% of eligible care expenses up to $3,000 for one child, provide additional federal help that reduces the annual tax burden for qualifying households.
For families earning at or below the national median household income of $81,604, the maximum combined annual value of these credits still offsets only a fraction of the $27,743 annual cost of raising a child. In this context, parental preparation is essential.
And the growing financial burden on new parents has led to more than financial difficulty: it’s also led to falling birth rates.
Falling Birth Rates
The U.S. general fertility rate fell to a new record low in 2025, reaching 53.1 births per 1,000 females aged between 15 and 44, continuing a gradual decline of 23% since 2007. The fertility rate now sits at 1.6 births per woman over her lifetime. That’s well below the 2.1 replacement level needed to sustain the population without immigration.
The financial data explains this trend. For the first time in the 11-year history of the American Family Survey, finances are the number one reason Americans have capped the size of their family. This factor is cited twice as often as any other: 43% of respondents identify a lack of money as the main reason they will limit the number of children they have.
That financial deterrent is fairly evenly spread across low- and high-earners. 47% of Americans earning under $40,000 cite cost as a reason for limiting family size, with 42% of those earning above $80,000 echoing the sentiment.
Methodology
The data compiled in this study was collected as follows.
Annual child-rearing cost figures by state were sourced from SmartAsset’s 2025 Cost of Raising a Child study. The study uses MIT Living Wage Calculator data to estimate the additional annual income needed by two working adults to support one child under five years old across all 50 states, as of February 2025.
Median household income figures are drawn from the U.S. Census Bureau’s 2024 American Community Survey and reflect the national median across all household types, used as a nationally recognized benchmark for income comparisons. National birth and maternal age data are sourced from the CDC’s National Center for Health Statistics June 2025 report.
The $471,948 estimated total cost of raising a single child from birth to age 18 was calculated using SmartAsset’s 2025 national average of $27,743 as a base figure. This was distributed across seven expenditure categories informed by USDA Expenditures on Children by Families methodology and adjusted to reflect single-child household costs.
Childcare and education costs are age-adjusted across three developmental stages: full daycare in early childhood (ages 0 to 4), after-school programming during school-age years (ages 5 to 12), and extracurricular and school-related fees during adolescence (ages 13 to 18). Transportation reflects child-attributable costs only. Individual category figures are rounded to the nearest dollar, and minor variance from the $27,743 base reflects standard rounding adjustment. Figures do not include college or post-secondary education expenses. Historical cost figures are sourced from USDA Expenditures on Children by Families (2015), the Brookings Institution, the Bureau of Labor Statistics, and the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality.
The Rising Cost of Raising a Child in The USA
The cost of raising a child from birth to 18 years of age is expensive, and getting more expensive with every passing year. The data is clear: the amount needed has risen 185% over 25 years, and is now very close to a staggering $500,000.
That figure includes housing, food, healthcare, and child care costs. But these basic costs (the 2025 average was $27,743, a 4.5% increase on 2024 levels) are far from the whole story. The true figure must also factor in lost income and pension contributions due to years spent caring for a child, the costs associated with pre-birth planning and a hospital stay during childbirth, and the value of wages and varying child-rearing costs across different U.S. states.
The progression (from $165,630 to $471,948 in roughly 25 years) represents a 185% increase in the total cost of parenthood
It’s now become so expensive to raise a child in the United States that planning is essential; creating an emergency fund is also potentially crucial to cover unforeseen child-rearing costs. One huge side effect of rising child-rearing costs is a falling birth rate, and a possible future population crisis.
As things stand, the data in this survey tells us that the cost of child-rearing in America is exponentially rising. If this trend continues without better America-wide parental support, the permutations could be devastating, not only for parental finances, but for the future prosperity of the United States.
“The conversation around the cost of raising a child usually focuses on what families spend. The more consequential question is what they give up,” suggests a Birth Injury Lawyer spokesperson. “Delayed homeownership, depleted retirement savings, devastating, long-term career interruptions: these are simple facts of life for American parents. And as child-rearing costs rise, it’s a scenario that can’t continue.”
The birth of a child is a beautiful, miraculous event. However, when something goes wrong, it can turn a family upside down and cause immeasurable pain.
