<P>The cost of raising a child is usually determined according to a formula that accounts for major areas of expenditure, such as food, housing, and clothing. However, any given family's actual expenses may differ from the estimates. For example, the <A href="/wiki/Renting" title="Renting">rent</A> on a home does not usually change when the tenants have another child, so the family's housing costs may remain the same. In other cases, the home may be too small, in which case the family might move to a larger home at a higher cost.</P>

<P>The annual LV= (<A href="/wiki/Liverpool_Victoria" title="Liverpool Victoria">Liverpool Victoria</A>) Cost of a Child report calculates the cost of raising a child from birth to 21 years old. The latest report puts the cost as £231,843.<SUP id="cite_ref-4" class="reference"><A href="#cite_note-4">[4]</A></SUP> The Cost of a child calculations, from birth to 21 years, were compiled by the Centre of Economic and Business Research (CEBR) for LV= in December 2015 and are based on the cost for the 21-year period to December 2015. Additional research was conducted by <A href="/wiki/Opinium_Research_LLP" class="mw-redirect" title="Opinium Research LLP">Opinium Research LLP</A> from 22 to 27 January 2016. The total sample size was 1,000 UK adults with children under the age of 18 and was conducted online. Results have been weighted to nationally representative criteria</P>

<P>The <B>tax</B> <B>exemption per child is $3,900</B> in 2013 which is based on the basic cost of raising a child. Plus there is a tax credit up to $1000 for each child.<A href="/wiki/Citation_needed" class="mw-redirect" title="Citation needed">citation needed</A></P>

The figures have been updated to 2011 dollars using the <A href="/wiki/Consumer_Price_Index" class="mw-redirect" title="Consumer Price Index">Consumer Price Index</A>. However, some dispute the numbers as being biased high for political reasons (e.g., Texas A&M University Finance Professor H.

Often government statistics are produced for political objectives that cause the research methodology to be biased toward finding the highest dollar amount to support the objective."<SUP id="cite_ref-5" class="reference"><A href="#cite_note-5">[5]</A></SUP>).</P>
<P>These figures from the USDA go up to age 18, and do not include any <A href="/wiki/Higher_education" title="Higher education">college or university education</A>.
