By accessing or using The Motherhood Brief website, tools, or newsletter (collectively, the "Service"), you agree to be bound by these Terms of Use. If you do not agree, please do not use the Service.

2. Not Financial, Tax, or Legal Advice

The tools and content provided on this site — including the Child Care Breakeven Calculator and any other calculators or guides — are for informational and educational purposes only. They do not constitute financial, tax, legal, or professional advice of any kind.

Results produced by any calculator on this site are estimates based on the information you enter and general assumptions about tax rates and costs. They may not reflect your actual financial situation. Always consult a qualified tax professional, financial advisor, or attorney before making financial decisions.

3. Accuracy of Information

We make reasonable efforts to keep the information on this site current and accurate, but we make no warranties or representations regarding the completeness, accuracy, or reliability of any content. Tax laws, child care costs, and financial regulations change frequently. Use this site as a starting point, not a final answer.

4. Affiliate Links & Sponsored Content

Some links on this site are affiliate links, meaning we may earn a small commission if you make a purchase through them — at no additional cost to you. This includes links to Amazon and Trust & Will. We only recommend products and services we genuinely believe in. All affiliate relationships are disclosed where applicable.

5. Newsletter

By subscribing to The Motherhood Brief newsletter, you agree to receive periodic emails from us. You can unsubscribe at any time using the link in any email. We use Beehiiv to manage our newsletter and your subscription is subject to Beehiiv's terms and privacy policy as well.

To the fullest extent permitted by law, The Motherhood Brief and its owner shall not be liable for any direct, indirect, incidental, or consequential damages arising from your use of this site or reliance on any information provided here.
