How Much Does a Baby Cost in the First Year?
The first year of a baby's life costs $15,000 to $50,000+ depending primarily on childcare. For families with a stay-at-home parent, first-year costs average $8,000-$15,000. With full-time daycare, expect $25,000-$35,000.
Biggest First Year Expenses
Childcare dominates the budget at 40-65% of total first-year costs for working parents. After that, medical expenses and feeding costs are the next largest categories. Gear and clothing are significant upfront but one-time costs.
