CCS calculator · 2026–27 estimates
Calculate your childcare gap fee.
Choose a room, set your usual days and enter your combined family income to see an indicative estimate of your fees after CCS.
How your estimate is worked out
Your income sets the rate
For 2026–27, the estimated CCS rate is 90% for combined incomes up to $88,520. It reduces by one percentage point for each $5,000 (or part of $5,000) above that, reaching zero at $538,520.
Activity sets the hours
Eligible families can receive at least 72 subsidised hours per fortnight under the 3-Day Guarantee. More than 48 hours of activity per fortnight may provide up to 100 hours.
The hourly cap applies
CCS is calculated on the lower of your fee per hour or the $15.19 centre-based care cap. We use 10 care hours per day and your selected room's daily fee.
This tool provides an indicative estimate only and does not determine eligibility or guarantee a subsidy amount. It excludes any additional funding or individual adjustments. Confirm your assessment with Services Australia, and contact Lilybelle to confirm current fees.
