Care costs are only part of the decision. Family Care Cost & Contribution Planner connects service quotes, family availability, payments and savings in one practical model.
Compare home care, residential care and mixed arrangements using your own figures. See uncovered hours, minimum visit charges and the monthly funding gap. Separate unpaid help from agreed reimbursements and produce a clear family contribution statement.
Enter the needs as the family knows them — days, times, place and how many helpers at once — and each relative's tasks, availability and hour limits. The schedule covers every required time with one allowed helper or shows exactly which hours stay uncovered and why. An arrangement with uncovered required hours is never shown as suitable, even when it is cheaper.
Night and weekend rates, minimum billed minutes, travel fees, package hours, day-programme days and facility fees are applied as entered. Confirmed income, expected sources and savings stay separate, so the funding gap, the agreed shares and the savings runway each show their own working.
What you get
- Care needs in your own words: days, times, place, helpers at once and the professional information behind each need.
- Home-care, day-programme and residence quotes with hourly, visit, day or monthly prices, minimum visits, night and weekend rates, packages and extras.
- Family members with tasks, availability windows, weekly and monthly hour limits, and optional agreed pay or time credit.
- A day-by-day schedule that covers every required time with one helper — or lists each uncovered hour with its reason.
- Monthly funding gap: approved care costs minus confirmed external funding; expected sources shown separately.
- Contribution agreements: equal, by weights, by budgets or fixed amounts, with caps and agreed time credits — shares always add up to the gap.
- Expenses, payments, reimbursements and a care-fund ledger with reversals instead of edits, plus a family settlement.
- Savings runway on the real payment calendar: the last fully paid bill and the first one that cannot be paid in full.
- Side-by-side arrangements, price-change and growing-needs scenarios, a printable family care report, calendar (ICS) and CSV exports.
How it works
- Describe the care. Enter the person, the places, the required help by day and time, and what each relative can do and when.
- Add the options. Copy prices and terms from each provider's written quote and build the arrangements you want to compare.
- See cost, hours and the gap. Check the schedule, the uncovered hours, the monthly cost, the funding gap and how long savings last.
- Agree and record. Approve one arrangement, agree the shares, record payments and print the family care report and contribution statement.
Limits
Does not determine medical care needs, benefit eligibility, legal obligations between relatives or the suitability of a care provider.
Questions
Does it use AI?
No. The schedule, costs, gap, shares and runway follow explicit calculations and rules. Results depend on the records and assumptions you enter.
Do I need a subscription?
No subscription is required for the one-time purchase of this product. Access through TidyCents PRO follows the current PRO terms.
What does PRO include?
The full online version of this tool while your PRO is active.
Is the offline program included in PRO?
No. The downloadable offline program, guide and import templates come with the one-time purchase.
Where is my data stored?
Working records are stored in your browser on this device. Keep a backup, especially before changing browsers, clearing browser data or moving to another device.
Can I move my records to another device?
Yes. Export a full backup and restore it in the same product on the other device.
Can several relatives edit the same plan at once?
This version is designed for one local workspace. It does not provide simultaneous shared editing; share the printed report or the statement instead.
What happens when PRO ends?
Your records stay on your device. You can still view them and export a backup; editing needs an active PRO or the one-time purchase.
Can I see how a result was calculated?
Yes. Every visit cost, monthly gap, share, settlement and runway opens a ‘How calculated’ view with the inputs, the formula with your numbers, the rounding and the assumptions.
Does it tell us how much care is needed?
No. The family enters the needs from the professional information it has. The program never derives needs from a diagnosis and does not judge medical needs or whether a provider is suitable.
Is unpaid family time turned into a debt?
No. Time given is shown for information with an optional reference value. It only affects money shares when the family has agreed a time credit for that relative.
Which countries does it support?
Any country and any currency. No benefit, tax or care-funding rule is built in: you enter the amounts and dates that apply to you.
Personal-use license for one household. No resale or redistribution. Opens in your browser right after payment, on phone and computer. Your figures stay on your device. No physical item.
