What is Partou's calculation tool?
Partou's calculation tool has been specially designed for parents who are looking for childcare for the first time. Are you looking for childcare for your first child? Then you're probably wondering how much it will cost. Fortunately, you don't have to calculate this yourself.
Our calculation tool uses a few simple details to calculate the likely monthly cost of childcare. The calculation tool takes into account:
- the type of childcare you choose: daycare or after school care
- the number of days per week you need childcare
- your gross annual income (assessment income)
- the average rate of the chosen Partou location
This gives you a quick personal overview of your monthly childcare costs, including childcare allowance. Handy if you want to know what is financially possible before you register.
How does the calculation tool work?
The calculation tool calculates a personal estimate of your childcare costs within a few minutes.
Here's how it works:
- Enter your (combined) income.
- Select the type of childcare: daycare or after-school care.
- Select the city and the Partou location.
- Indicate which days and how many days you need childcare.
Then click on ‘Calculate’ and you will immediately see an indication of what you will pay per month, including childcare allowance.
Want to know the difference between taking more or fewer days of childcare? Adjust your choices and immediately see the effect on your monthly amount.
What do you need to calculate childcare costs?
To make an accurate calculation, you only need a few things:
- your (combined) gross annual income (assessment income)
- the number of days per week you want childcare
- the location where you are looking for childcare
Not sure exactly what your assessment income is? Use the Tax and Customs Administration's calculation tool.
Handy: if you have this information to hand, the calculation will only take a few minutes.
Gross and net childcare costs
The rates on our website are gross costs. Fortunately, you can recover part of these costs through the government's childcare allowance. What you actually pay are your net costs. And these are usually a lot lower than the gross costs. With our calculation tool, you can immediately see the difference between gross and net costs. This way, you know exactly how much you will be spending per month, after the allowance.
What does the calculation tool show?
After filling in the details, you will immediately see:
- your gross monthly costs: the amount before childcare allowance
- your estimated childcare allowance: the government subsidy
- your net monthly costs: what you actually pay
The calculation is an indication, based on Partou's standard childcare packages and rates. This gives you a good idea of what childcare is likely to cost you.
The actual costs may vary slightly, for example due to extras such as hot meals or extended childcare. Would you like to know more about what determines the cost of childcare? And what is and isn't included in the hourly rate? Read more about childcare costs.

No rights can be derived from the results of the calculation tool. Partou is not liable for any differences or decisions made on the basis of the calculation.
