California-only calculator Wages / placement fee / family cost

Calculate annual wages, placement fee, and first-year family cost.

This mirrors the Los Angeles Nannies calculator model: one set of assumptions, two useful views, and a shareable link you can send without building a spreadsheet from scratch.

California-only planning assumptions. Not tax, legal, payroll, compliance, or insurance advice.

Calculator

Start with wages. Switch to placement fee when the fee conversation matters.

Use the wage view to explain household employment cost. Use the placement view to show TEMP, 20%, 25%, or custom fee assumptions beside the wage basis and payroll obligations.

Payroll obligations

California-only model for planning conversations. Confirm final payroll, workers' comp, overtime, tax, and agreement details with qualified providers.

Use carefully

This is a planning tool, not a payroll answer.

Agencies can use this to show how hourly rate, schedule, TEMP duration, placement percentage, payroll service, insurance, and overtime assumptions affect the family-facing cost conversation. Final obligations can vary by role, classification, provider setup, and the family’s tax situation.

01 Annual wage view

Show weekly gross wages, annual gross wages, estimated employer taxes, payroll service, and insurance from one set of inputs.

02 Placement fee view

Switch to TEMP, 20%, 25%, or custom placement fee assumptions without re-entering the wage details.

03 Shareable link

Send the estimate state as a URL so families or agency staff can reopen the same assumptions later.
