To raise a child born in 2013 to the age of 18, it will cost a middle-income couple just over $245,000, according to newly released estimates from the U.S. Department of Agriculture. That's up $4,260, or almost 2%, from the year before. Estimates can vary widely depending on where you live and how much you earn.
But it is the first year of a child's life that is the most expensive, costing Â£8,500 on average. As children reach school age and less money needs to go towards childcare, the annual cost of raising a child falls to a low of around Â£6,489 for a child aged between five and eight years.
