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 the family. In households 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, there is no specific standard for calculating the exact burden ratio. In family court support mediation, the amount is typically determined by comprehensively considering each supporter'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 situations (e.g., presence of dependents)

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