What your own hours would cost in New York

At the state median of $35/hour:

  • 20 hours/week ≈ $3,031/month ($35 × 20 × 4.33)
  • 40 hours/week ≈ $6,062/month ($35 × 40 × 4.33)
This is the arithmetic most families are missing: a monthly quote means nothing until you know which hours it assumed. Run your own hours →

How these numbers are produced

CareScout Cost of Care Survey 2025 (ranked state tables). Collected July–November 2025, published 2026-03-06. Rates are based on 44 hours per week x 52 weeks (annual); monthly = annual / 12; daily = annual / 365. Sample: more than 25,000 rate quotes.

Medians are a starting point, not a quote. Your actual rate depends on the agency, the metro area and the level of need.
