FAQs
Nanny Cost Calculator questions
Does this determine whether a nanny is a household employee?
No. Worker status depends on the actual arrangement and current rules. Check the applicable official guidance or a qualified professional.
Does it calculate payroll taxes?
No. Enter the total employer load you have verified for your situation. The calculator does not determine taxes, insurance, unemployment requirements, or filing obligations.
How do I include paid time off?
Include paid vacation, holidays, or sick time in paid hours and paid weeks only when the agreement requires those hours or weeks to be paid.
Can I subtract a care benefit or credit?
Enter only an amount you have independently confirmed. The tool caps the entered offset at gross cost and does not verify eligibility, timing, or tax treatment.
