How to use this calculator
- Choose the start and end dates of the period.
- Turn each day of the week the child is in your care to “Yes”.
- Press Calculate — it counts how many of those days fall between the dates, with the care percentage of the period.
How it works
The calculator steps through every day from the start to the end date (inclusive) and counts the ones whose weekday you turned on. The care percentage is those days ÷ the total days in the range × 100, with the matching Australian care level.
Worked example
1–28 January with Monday on. There are 4 Mondays in that range, so 4 ÷ 28 days = 14.3% — regular care.
