The Economic Policy Institute has a new family budget calculator. It estimates what it would cost for someone to live in what they describe as a 'modest but comfortable.'

Their calculator figures living costs, child care expenses, health care, transportation, groceries and other expenses.

The figures are for 618 metro and rural areas across the United States. Kennebec County is not included, but other areas of Maine are.

Check out the calculator here.
