Monthly care cost calculator
Estimate what a care option costs each month in a given state, at a given number of hours and level of nursing. The figure carries its assumptions with it — read them before you rely on the number.
Estimated monthly cost
RM 1,129
Typical range: RM 391 – RM 2,084
Works out at about RM 13 an hour
- In ten years, at 5% care inflation
- RM 1,751
- Total over ten years
- RM 14,196
Basis of the estimate
Kuala Lumpur is above the national mid-range, and this level of support multiplies it by 1.
Companion help through to skilled nursing at home, charged by the hour. RM1,200 – RM4,500 depending on hours per week.
What these figures assume
- Care costs are inflated at 5% a year, roughly in line with Malaysian medical and care inflation in recent years.
- Income is assumed to rise 1% a year, well below care inflation — the gap is what erodes savings.
- Part-time hours do not scale down proportionally: agencies carry fixed travel and scheduling costs, so a monthly floor of about 35% of the full-time rate is applied.
- State figures are a premium or discount on the national mid-range, highest in Kuala Lumpur and Selangor and lowest in the northern and east-coast states.
These are indicative ranges, not quotes. SilverConnect compiles them from published fee schedules and operator-advertised rates, and they move with wages, rent, staffing and the level of nursing cover. We do not verify licences or fees.
