Nanny Share Cost Splitter (Split by Hours and Children)

How to use the Nanny Share Cost Splitter (Split by Hours and Children)

1. Enter the nanny’s total weekly cost, including any employer costs.

4. Add what a family would pay on its own to see the weekly saving.

Example

Worked example (£700 a week, Family A 40 h and 1 child, Family B 40 h and 2 children)

• Split by hours: £350.00 each
• Split by children: A pays £233.33, B pays £466.67
• Hours × children: A pays £233.33, B pays £466.67
• Saving with a solo cost of £560: A saves £210.00 by hours

Limitations

• The calculator does not know your tax rules, and shared employment can mean one family is the legal employer.
• It treats every child and every hour equally. Many shares charge a slightly lower rate per child, which you can agree between you.
• Overlapping hours when both families’ children are present should be agreed as a rule, because it changes which method is fair.

About this tool

A nanny share is when two families employ one carer together. This calculator splits the total weekly cost fairly. Enter the carer’s total cost per week, how many hours each family uses and how many children each has, and choose whether to split by hours, by children or by a mix of both. It also shows what each family would pay on its own, so you can see the saving.
