Deseret News, January 31, 2017: Your child is now 18. That will be $233K
“In lower-income families (below $59,200 a year), the cost per child is similar whether the household is headed by a married couple or a single parent. But it’s more likely that single parents are low-income than married couples. The cost overall for low-income families, though, is quite a bit lower than the middle-income estimate: $174,690 for those childhood years. And for high-income families, it’s $372,210.”
