We are considering relocating to Sydney during next year as my wife has the opportunity to move with work, which would give me and our daughter visa as well.

I am preparing a budget to get a grip of the financials. How much would child care be for a 2 year old, ~8 hours a day, 5 days a week? How does it compare to having a nanny?

What should I consider as the main expense other than housing, childcare and food? Insurance (home + health), electricity, etc.?

Pretty standard for $200 per day per child at daycare.

For a nanny expect to pay $35-$45 per hour

Also - childcare and housing are by far our biggest expenses. I think this is common for most working parents in Sydney

Hey fishes, can someone tell me how the 80c bracket works, i know i can get exempt upto 1.5lakh under it, what i wanna know is does PF comes under it or not? For example if my yearly pf deduction is 20k and VPF is 10k so now will i still be able to show investment of 1.5lakh under 80c apart from PF and VPF or i'll be able to get exemption on only 1.2 lakh( 1.5lakh-30k= 1.2lakh)?

Thank you in advance!!
