To raise a child born in 2013 to the age of 18, it will cost a middle-income couple just over $245,000, according to newly released estimates from the U.S. Department of Agriculture. That's up $4,260, or almost 2%, from the year before. Estimates can vary widely depending on where you live and how much you earn.
Annual Costs. The annual cost of raising your baby isnât equal over the little boy or girlâs childhood. Infants are relatively inexpensive: a survey by the parenting website Baby Center in 2011 found the cost of a childâs first year was about $10,000, while NPRâs Planet Money show calculated first-year expenses as less than $12,000. Infants donât eat much, require schooling (though they may require child care) or need expensive clothing.
