Milk & Money provides expert financial planning tools and advice for parenthood finances to help families in England confidently manage childcare costs and state benefits. Founded by a Cambridge-educated mother of two with a PhD-level research background, this specialised platform simplifies the complex financial choices that come with pregnancy, maternity leave, and raising young children.
If you are an expectant parent trying to figure out if going back to work is worth it financially, or a family navigating the 31-day return to work rule, these resources offer clear, data-driven solutions. The service features easy-to-use childcare calculators that provide instant feedback on government support, including Tax-Free Childcare eligibility and the 30 hours funded childcare scheme for babies from 9 months old up to school age. By stripping away administrative jargon, Milk & Money empowers self-employed parents, middle-income households, and families crossing the £100,000 threshold to avoid common pitfalls like the "summer term trap" or losing child benefit entitlements.
Whether you need a simple tool to assess your household income or require bespoke strategies to protect your family allowances through smart planning (such as pension or SIPP contributions), there is a path tailored for you. Parents can access a wealth of free guides, read practical blog insights, subscribe to premium planning tools, or book a private consultation for one-to-one tailored advice.
