This statistic shows the cost in 2018, for parents living together as a couple, of a first child in the United Kingdom (UK) from the age of 0 to 17. Figures are compared for the costs including childcare and rent/council tax and for the costs excluding childcare and rent/council tax.
Up unto the age of 13, the costs including childcare and rent/council tax are considerably higher than those without. After the age of 13, the cost including childcare and rent/council tax is roughly 8 pounds less per week. The most expensive period for parents, including childcare, is from birth to the age of 1. Excluding childcare, this period comes from age 11 to age 17.
