Mycat Inc. (Headquarters: Meguro-ku, Tokyo) has newly released the Sibling Care Cost Burden Balance Checker (https://kaigofutan.xyz/tools/sibling-balance) within its AI long-term care cost and sibling burden ratio simulator "Kaigo Futan AI" (https://kaigofutan.xyz).

Troubles between Siblings Regarding "Care and Money"

According to the Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare's "Comprehensive Survey of Living Conditions," the majority of primary caregivers for those requiring long-term care are cohabiting family members. As parental care becomes prolonged, troubles among siblings regarding cost burden and division of care roles are becoming more serious.

While Article 877 of the Civil Code stipulates that lineal relatives have a mutual duty of support, there are no clear legal standards for specific burden ratios. Cases where the burden is concentrated on one person due to vague reasons such as "living nearby" or "being the eldest son" and ultimately leading to family court mediation are increasing. If a fair burden ratio guideline can be shared among siblings in advance, it can help prevent troubles.

Three Features of the "Sibling Care Cost Burden Balance Checker"

・ Just enter sibling information: Simply enter each sibling's annual income and monthly care participation days to instantly calculate a fair cost-sharing ratio.

・ Reflects family court support payment mediation standards: Adopts a calculation logic that considers "financial capacity (income/assets)" and "actual state of support (actual contribution to care)" used in family court support payment mediation.

・ Can be used as material for discussions: The calculated burden ratio can be shared as objective reference material for discussions among siblings. It supports constructive discussions based on numbers, avoiding emotional conflicts.
