Baby’s First Year
Cost Calculator

a gentle look at the first year

A plain estimate of what a baby’s first year can cost, from the delivery to the day-to-day. The fields start with rough figures for the Philippines. Change any of them to match your own plans. Everything runs on your device.

Your estimated costs

One-time costs are paid once. The rest are per month, and the calculator counts them across all twelve.

Hospital or birthing center, paid once. A public facility costs far less; a private cesarean, more.

Crib, stroller, car seat, tub, and other one-time buys.

Cloth diapers bring this down a lot.

Breastfeeding brings this close to zero.

How the first year adds up

Four things shape the total. Here is each one, and how it comes together.

One-time costs

The delivery and the first round of gear, paid once. These land early, so the first months are the heaviest.

paid once
Monthly costs

Diapers, milk, clothing, and checkups. Small on their own, but they repeat every month all year.

every month
A full year

The monthly costs counted across all twelve months, then added to the one-time costs for the first-year total.

Monthly average

The whole first year spread evenly over twelve months, the figure that is easiest to budget around.

Questions people ask

answered in plain words

It varies widely, but many families spend somewhere between ₱100,000 and ₱200,000 in the first year once the delivery, gear, diapers, milk, and healthcare are counted. A public-facility delivery and breastfeeding pull the figure down; a private cesarean and full-time formula push it up. The calculator lets you set each cost to your own situation.
