[quote=Anonymous]From an economic POV, you are worth the cost of daycare or nanny, plus the cost of a cleaning lady and perhaps the cost savings of not ordering in periodically, all of which should be trued up for taxes. So say about $36,000 for the nanny, maybe $2,000 for the cleaning lady and $2,000 for the not eating out as often (since presumably as a SAHM you'd cook more frequently than if you worked). Call it $40,000 post tax or worth about $60,000 post tax. That value goes down as the kids get older and can clean for themselves and don't require full time 50 hour a week childcare. Economically speaking I'd say $60k for the first 7 years, $40k thereafter. [/quote]
