## About
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.

## How to use
1. Enter the nanny’s total weekly cost, including any employer costs.
2. Enter hours and number of children for each family.
3. Choose how to split: by hours, by children or by hours × children.
4. Add what a family would pay on its own to see the weekly saving.
