Common questions
What others asks before signing up?
How much does aged care cost in Australia?
Costs vary by care type. Home Care Packages range from approximately $9,500 (Level 1) to $57,000 (Level 4) per year. Residential care involves a basic daily fee of around $62 per day, plus means-tested care fees and accommodation costs. This calculator provides an indicative estimate based on current government fee schedules.
How accurate is this aged care cost calculator?
The calculator uses current Australian Government fee schedules and means-testing thresholds. However, individual costs depend on your specific financial assessment by Services Australia. Your aged care provider will confirm exact pricing after a consultation.
What fees are included in aged care?
Aged care fees may include a basic daily fee (paid by all residents), a means-tested care fee (based on income and assets), accommodation costs (RAD or DAP for residential care), and optional extra services. Government subsidies offset a significant portion for eligible Australians.
Can I add this calculator to my WordPress, Webflow, Squarespace, Wix or Shopify site?
Yes. Copy a single embed snippet from your Leadkit dashboard and paste it into any website builder. The calculator renders natively on your page with your brand colours — no iframes or pop-ups.
What information do I receive when a family submits an enquiry?
You receive the family contact name, phone, email, care type, package level, income bracket, subsidy eligibility, additional services preference, location, message and the full indicative cost breakdown — delivered to your email and Leadkit dashboard with a branded PDF.
Do I need a website to use this calculator?
No. Every Leadkit account includes a hosted calculator page. Share the link on your Google Business Profile, aged care directories or My Aged Care provider listing.
Does this calculator account for the means test?
The calculator includes three income-and-assets brackets (low, middle, high) to approximate means-tested care fees. For an exact assessment, families should contact Services Australia or a financial adviser specialising in aged care.
Is Leadkit really free?
Yes. Free lets you add up to 3 calculators to your website and receive 10 leads per month — no credit card. Every lead beyond the cap is still captured and held for you; upgrading to Pro ($29/mo) opens them all retroactively and removes the cap.
Do I need to know how to code?
No. You get an embed code (one line of HTML). Paste it into your website builder — Wix, Squarespace, WordPress, or any custom site. That's it.
How accurate are the price estimates?
You configure the calculator formulas to match your actual pricing. Leadkit provides the framework; you set the numbers. Estimates can be as detailed or as rough as you like.
What happens with lead data?
All lead data is stored securely in your workspace. You own it. We never sell or share your leads with anyone.
Can I use Leadkit as an agency for multiple clients?
Yes — our Agency plan lets you create and manage separate workspaces for each of your clients, all from one dashboard.
What's the difference between the plans?
Free: up to 3 calculators, 10 leads/month (over-cap leads held + locked until upgrade). Pro: unlimited leads, unlimited calculators, white-label, branded email sending, analytics, email templates. Agency: everything in Pro plus multi-workspace management.

How it works
How this aged care cost calculator is calculated
This calculator produces an indicative cost only, not a binding fee schedule. Actual fees are determined by your aged care provider based on a formal assessment.
GST handling: Most aged care services are GST-free under Australian tax law. This calculator does not add GST.
1
Care type selection
The calculator branches into home care, residential care, respite or transition care — each with its own fee structure aligned to current government schedules.
2
Package and accommodation
For home care, the annual package value is determined by HCP level (1–4). For residential care, accommodation cost is estimated using the DAP equivalent of the selected RAD bracket.
dap_annual = rad_bracket × dap_interest_rate
3
Means-tested fees
Income and assets bracket determines the means-tested care fee component. Low bracket pays no means-tested fee; middle and high brackets incur progressively higher daily charges.
4
Subsidies and extras
Government subsidies offset a significant portion of home care package costs for eligible recipients. Optional extra services (hairdressing, premium meals, pay TV) are added if selected.
5
Annual total
All applicable fee components are summed and subsidies deducted to produce the estimated annual cost to the care recipient and their family.
Aged care costs vary significantly based on care type, location, means testing and accommodation choices. These figures reflect current government fee schedules.

Home Care Package values are the same nationally. Residential care fees vary by facility and location — metropolitan facilities in Sydney and Melbourne typically charge higher RADs than regional areas.
