How is the Long-Term Care Cost calculated?

We estimate the future cost of long-term care by taking the current median cost for your state and care type, growing it to the age you might need care, and multiplying by the number of years of care.

What data and assumptions does it use?

CareScout Cost of Care Survey (median costs by state and care type). A projected annual growth rate (~4–5%) stored alongside each cost figure.
