How much does it cost to raise a child each month?

If the newborn is breastfed, only diapers are included in the expenses. The average is 8 pieces a day. According to the price of Kao, it is 1.5 yuan per piece, which is 320 yuan a month. This A set of period clothes costs about 40 yuan, and I usually prepare at least three sets. The total cost is about 400 to 500 yuan.

If the breast milk is sufficient, it can be maintained until 6 months. Adding complementary food, buying clothes, and changing pacifiers will cost about 800 yuan a month. At this time, many mothers begin to buy brightly colored books, storybooks, etc. for their children.

When the baby is one to three years old, he enters the weaning period and adds milk powder. The mid-range price of milk powder is about 400 yuan per can, which is about 3 cans a month. Then add 1,200 yuan to the previous 800 yuan. In other words, the basic expenditure for food and clothing is 2,000 yuan.

Of course, all expenses do not include the toys, strollers, and cribs we bought. Babies in the first three years do not spend a lot of money as we imagined.

Next, children after the age of three start to go to kindergarten. The cost of a high-end kindergarten is about 10,000 per semester, the medium one is about 5,000, and in rural areas it is about 3,000 per semester. You should also start considering various interest classes, such as Latin dance, English, piano playing, taekwondo, etc. The average price of an interest class is about 4,000 per semester. Of course, these are average values!

During this period, children do not drink so much milk, but in order to ensure that their nutrition is up to standard, they will still give them a glass of milk sooner or later. Milk only costs 200 yuan a month, and a semester is almost 4 months. Generally, Mom will enroll her children in two interest classes. It's about 5,000 to 10,000 yuan a month. Of course, there are also families who only sign up for one interest class!

I finally made it to elementary school. Elementary school is compulsory education. There is no such expensive registration fee. I can finally breathe a sigh of relief! If you think so, you are really wrong. Although there is no tuition fee, every teacher now requires your children to make up lessons! Tuition fees vary by region. Then there are the data fees charged in various names. This fee and that fee can cost thousands of dollars in a semester, especially in private schools!

Every family in elementary school will enroll their children in cram schools, at least two, one is an interest class, the other is an English class or a Mathematical Olympiad class, and the school teacher’s cram school is also a must, otherwise you I can't imagine how the children are treated. A friend revealed that if the children do not attend the teacher's cram school, the substitute teacher will not even let the children copy their homework!

Then, I roughly calculated the monthly expenses of the primary school. The two cram schools are 2,000 a month, the miscellaneous fees charged by the school are 250 a month, the food expenses are 200, and the after-school cram school with a language and mathematics teacher is 300. That’s about 2,800 yuan a month. This is the minimum consumption. If you want your children to learn more expensive interest classes such as piano and ballet, it is a different matter.

?There are more tutoring classes in junior high schools because there are many more courses. I won’t calculate it in detail. Even if it’s about 3,000 yuan per month, it’s all based on the minimum consumption.

It would be best if your child is ambitious enough to be admitted to high school. If he fails to pass the exam, the relationship fee alone may cost around 50,000. The registration fee for high school is about 1,200 per semester, and the child’s living expenses are one per semester. 1,000 per month. What is gratifying is that children in this period have no time for tutoring. It is almost ten o'clock when self-study ends every night. Your child may only spend about 2,000 yuan a month in high school!

In the end, on average, the minimum consumption is an average of 3,000 yuan a month. From birth to high school graduation, which takes about 18 years, we probably need at least 540,000 yuan to raise a child.

The university will calculate it separately. The tuition for junior college is 3,000 per year, the tuition for undergraduate is 4,000, and the tuition for three courses is 12,000. Living expenses are calculated separately.

This does not include the cost of children getting sick, the possibility of high school fees for middle and high schools, or parents who want to enroll their children in more expensive cram schools. The detailed expenses still vary from person to person. Oh! These are calculated based on the expenses of your own children and are for reference only!
