Household services replacement-cost benchmarks

The standing 2023 edition reports daily USD wage-substitution replacement values and rates for household-production and caregiving activities across 385 U.S. cohorts, combining pooled 2003–2023 ATUS time with OEWS wages and reporting uncertainty. Preserve national scope, edition, sample, cohort, activity, units, wage source, method, and confidence interval; do not infer local provider prices or separate benefits/overhead.

CareScout’s open 2025 survey publishes provider-billed medians for documented non-medical caregiver/homemaker and related care services by national, state, and 434 MSA-derived regions and applicable rate periods. Preserve service, billed-rate/annualization basis, geography, currency, fieldwork/publication period, and survey scope; buyer-entered hours and inflation assumptions are scenario inputs, not benchmarks.
