How to Calculate Your Staff Base Amount Return to Child Care Counts home page. DCF has created this handy Staff Base Amount Calculator to help you calculate any changes in staff count after September 2023. You must keep documentation showing how funds were divided and spent. If your staff counts have changed, you may need to re-calculate each staff member’s portion of the Base Per-Staff funds. You can use this Staff Base Amount Calculator to determine what your base per-staff amounts are for a given month. Follow the instructions to calculate your program staff's base amount for each month for the remainder of Child Care Counts. Instructions Enter the total Staff Base Amount listed on your payment letter. Enter the number of part-time staff for that particular month's count week.
