The software features an easy-to-understand Household Employers Guide and a Setup Wizard that walks users through the initial payroll setup. NannyPay calculates all federal and state income, Social Security, Medicare, and other payroll taxes, ensuring compliance with nanny tax laws. It also generates signature-ready Schedule H forms for the user's tax return and prints plain paper W-2 and W-3 forms. Household employers can securely maintain their payroll data on their own computer or opt for automatic backups in the cloud-based version.

Easy to calculate taxes and print our forms for taxes. > > **Cons**: No direct deposit, but we didn't need it, so it didn't matter for us. > > We have two nannies we use throughout the year. My husband and I needed a simple solution that we could track withholdings and taxes. NannyPay was easy to use and printed our W2s and Schedule H in a few clicks of a button. The set up wizard adding our employees and ourselves was easy to understand. Since we pay by check we didn't need the extra bells and whistles the other service companies offer. Well worth it\! ----- ### "Takes the headache out calculating nanny taxes\!" — 4.0/5 > **Adrienne** | *18 August 2019* | Media Production | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10 > > **Pros**: You can't really beat the price. Compared to other payroll services, this is a fraction of what of the cost of competitor sites/services. NannyPay also allows you to print out W2 and Schedule H forms that are ready to sign and ship to your CPA (If you have one). > > **Cons**: It can be a little time consuming when you first start your account, but once you get the hang of it, it's pretty user-friendly. > > Before we found NannyPay, my husband and I were concerned about how we would properly handle state and federal taxes for our nanny. This really removes the headache. The best part is that our nanny LOVES it too. There's no guessing game for her come tax time and she appreciates how convenient it is. We're all able to record everything without any fear of having something be inaccurate. A win-win for all of us\! ----- ### "Truly awful" — 1.0/5 > **Brittany** | *5 October 2023* | Individual & Family Services | Recommendation rating: 0.0/10 > > **Pros**: So confusing to use, not helpful at all, in fact quite deceiving into thinking you can do this yourself. There is little valuable direction to submit taxes accurately. Got hit with a $3k+ irs bill a year later. Will NEVER use this again. > > **Cons**: Truly awful. Will never use again or recommend to anyone. ----- ### "Amazing Value" — 5.0/5 > **Kristin** | *20 December 2018* | Marketing & Advertising | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: 1. Price\! 2. As a first time household employer they had great steps to walk through the process\! > > **Cons**: It’s DIY, so you have to be willing to set up your account for the first time, after that it’s a\!peice of cake\! > > I am so glad I found this as an alternative to the other payroll services. For a fraction of the cost I can pay legally and use the ‘extra’ money for activities and bonuses\! ----- ### "Does the job, but UI is outdated and the help sections were still very confusing" — 3.0/5 > **Leslie** | *16 April 2018* | Recommendation rating: 5.0/10 > > **Pros**: It was the cheapest solution I could find for a software to pay a household employee and file the appropriate forms and taxes. It does the job, but it could definitely stand an update to the look and user interface. > > **Cons**: The info available to get it set up and do ongoing reporting and tax filing isn't super helpful. It's hard to feel very confident that it's all correct when there isn't much in the way of explanation available in the software, their website or help section. I actually have my accountant double-check everything when I file my annual taxes. > > Let's me pay our nanny legally by calculating all appropriate withholdings and providing the necessary forms and reports to file quarterly and annual tax and employment paperwork. However, it's not super user-friendly, probably because it doesn't have much competition so there's no incentive to update the program. ----- Page: 1 / 2\ Next: [Next page](https://www.softwareadvice.co.uk/software/459474/NannyPay?page=2) ## Links - [View on SoftwareAdvice](https://www.softwareadvice.co.uk/software/459474/NannyPay) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | en | | | en-AU | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | ----- ## Structured Data
