Here's how much it costs to raise a child in each state

A LendingTree study found that, on average, it costs $297,674 to raise a child over 18 years.Rawpixel.com/ShutterstockA LendingTree study looked at the average annual cost of raising a small child in each US state.Hawaii was ranked the most expensive state to raise a child in 2025.On average, parents in the US spend 22.6% of their income on child-rearing costs each year.In today's economy, luxuries like buying a mega-mansion, a sports car, or a Birkin bag might be cheaper than raising a child.In step with rising food and housing costs, parents across America are facing the financial challenges associated with having a child.A recent LendingTree study found that, on average, it costs US parents $297,674 to raise a child over 18 years, and they spend an average of 22.6% of their income on child-rearing costs each year.While the costs vary by state, one factor remains constant: the rising cost of childcare during the workday, which is often the largest expense related to having a child."Our data from last year showed that in 45 states and DC, if you have two kids, what you pay for childcare on average exceeds [your] mortgage," said Sandra Bishop, the senior director of research for Child Care Aware of America, a national nonprofit organization focused on helping families across the country access affordable childcare.Between LendingTree's 2023 and 2025 studies, the average annual cost of childcare rose by 51.8%, from $11,752 to $17,836.Bishop says this isn't a new trend. Since Childcare Aware began tracking costs in 2000, the cost of childcare has remained "a major expense for families," she told Business Insider. On average, the price of childcare has increased every year that Childcare Aware has tracked it."[About] 70 to 80% of what it costs to provide childcare is staff costs," Bishop said. "As the cost of living goes up, so does the cost of care."LendingTree's study, which was released in March, looked at the impact of raising a young child in categories like rent, food, and transportation by measuring the difference between costs for a two-person household and a two-person household with a child.For day care and apparel costs, researchers examined the average annual costs that families face in each state.To calculate the estimated costs of raising a child in every state, LendingTree used data from sources including the US Census Bureau's American Community Survey, the US Bureau of Labor Statistics' consumer expenditure surveys, Child Care Aware of America's Price of Care report, and the IRS, among others.Here's the annual cost of raising a young child in each state (and Washington, DC) and how each state ranks compared to the rest of the country, with 51 being the cheapest and 1 being the most expensive.AlabamaMobile, Alabama.Cavan-Images/ShutterstockRanking: 49 (49th most expensive in the US and Washington, DC)Annual cost of raising a child: $17,870Annual day care costs: $8,771Food costs: $1,897In Alabama, parents spend an average of 17.1% of their income to raise a child, which is the seventh lowest percentage among all states.The state also ranked third in the lowest day care expenses.AlaskaFairbanks, Alaska.Jacob Boomsma/Getty ImagesRanking: 18Annual cost of raising a child: $24,921Annual day care costs: $11,760Food costs: $2,342Alaska parents face some of the highest added costs in the country when factoring a child into their expenses.
