This calculator offers a clear, sobering look at whether you can afford to pause your career to become a full-time caregiver. It figures out your new monthly deficit and divides your liquid assets to show exactly how many months of runway you have. Note that it doesn't factor in inflation or investment growth, so if your projected runway stretches into decades, your actual timeline will vary. It's a complete and thoughtful rewrite of the original childcare calculator it was based on, offering a totally new set of logic for a difficult life transition.
