Calculate Caregiving Cost Sharing Among Siblings in About 30 Seconds: Free 'Caregiving Cost Simulator' Released, Based on Family Court Support Mediation Standards

Mycat Inc. has launched a free web tool, the "Caregiving Cost Simulator" (https://kaigofutan.xyz), designed to calculate fair cost-sharing ratios for parents' caregiving expenses among siblings.

According to the Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare's "Comprehensive Survey of Living Conditions" (2022), approximately 54% of primary caregivers living with those requiring care are family members, concentrating the financial burden on them. In families with multiple siblings, reaching a consensus on "who pays how much" is often difficult.

While Article 877 of the Civil Code imposes a duty of support on lineal relatives and siblings, no specific criteria for calculating the burden ratio are defined. In family court mediation for support payments, decisions are typically made by comprehensively considering each person's economic capacity, distance from the dependent, and actual involvement in caregiving.

The "Caregiving Cost Simulator" references these family court mediation standards to calculate objective sharing ratios by simply inputting the following elements:

• Total monthly caregiving costs
• Annual income of each sibling
• Distance from the parent's residence
• Actual involvement in caregiving (visit frequency, tasks performed)
• Individual living circumstances (e.g., presence of dependents)

The results are displayed as specific monthly burden amounts, serving as a starting point for family discussions. No membership registration or personal information input is required, and all basic functions are available for free.
