Nannytax: payroll and employment compliance management for nanny employers in the United Kingdom

Nannytax presents itself as the longest-running nanny payroll company in the United Kingdom, with more than three decades of activity. Over 32 years it has supported more than 70,000 British families, according to the data it publishes. Its proposition combines technology and human support to handle the tax and employment obligations involved in hiring a nanny.

Payroll and compliance services

The company offers a comprehensive payroll service that includes PAYE administration (the UK tax and National Insurance withholding system), the issuing of monthly or weekly payslips, and liaison with HMRC (the UK tax authority) on behalf of the employer. It also handles workplace pensions and provides tailored employment contracts at no extra cost, as well as unlimited HR support.

The service is designed for families employing a nanny for the first time or those who already do so and need to delegate administrative tasks. Nannytax recommends subscribing between four and six weeks before the nanny starts work to ensure the first payroll is ready on time.

Plans and pricing

The company structures its offering into three annual subscription plans, with variations depending on payroll frequency (monthly or weekly). The prices shown on the site are:

• Essential: £276 per year for monthly payroll or £316 for weekly. Includes end-to-end payroll service and a free tailored contract.
• Premium: £365 per year for monthly payroll or £425 for weekly. Adds workplace pension scheme management, with calculation of contributions, deductions and payroll updates.
• Ultra: £474 per year for monthly payroll or £534 for weekly. Includes everything above plus employers' liability insurance, designed specifically for families employing nannies in their home.

There is an optional add-on called Nannytax Plus, for £17.50 per month, through which the company pays HMRC and the nanny on behalf of the employer. Annual subscriptions can be taken out online; for three- or six-month plans it is necessary to contact the subscriptions team.

Resources and tools for employers

Nannytax makes various free resources available to employers, such as net and gross salary calculators, a holiday calculator, employer checklists and an annual nanny salary guide. This guide, published every year, is cited by media such as The Telegraph and Financial Times, according to the company itself. It also offers a nanny employment pack and an FAQ guide.

The company runs a podcast called All Things Nanny and a rewards and wellbeing app for nannies, aimed at staff retention. It also offers a nanny agency matching service and a guide to finding a nanny or work as a nanny.
