Frequently Asked Questions

What childcare types does Kelivon compare?
Daycare centers, in-home daycare, full-time nanny, nanny share, au pair, and part-time/hybrid arrangements. Each option is modeled with its actual cost structure including taxes, agency fees, food, and supplies.
How does tax optimization work?
We model the Child and Dependent Care Tax Credit, Dependent Care FSA (DCAP) contributions, employer-provided childcare benefits, and state-specific credits. The optimizer finds the combination that minimizes your after-tax childcare cost.
How accurate are the cost estimates?
Our models use Care.com market rate data, Census ACS childcare expenditure surveys, state licensing databases for center costs, and BLS employment data for nanny wages. Monte Carlo simulation provides a probability-weighted range rather than a single estimate.
Do credits expire?
No. Report credits and API credits never expire. Use them whenever you need them.
What is your refund policy?
