Honest costs

Know the real cost before you call.

No hidden fees and no surprises: statutory rates, the accommodation offset, and one flat plan fee quoted in full on your first call — with a calculator that does the sums for your hours.

The calculator

What you'd pay your au pair or nanny, weekly

A live-in au pair's weekly money follows the statutory minimum wage for their age, less the accommodation offset. Live-out care is hourly. Pick a care type and drag the slider — the figure updates as you go.

Two costs make up the total: what you pay your au pair or nanny (below), and the agency's flat plan fee. Nothing else, ever — that's the no-hidden-fee pledge.

What affects the price

Four things move the figure

  • Hours. The single biggest factor — the guide figure scales directly with your weekly pattern.
  • Live-in or live-out. Live-in placements deduct the statutory accommodation offset (£77.70/week from 1 Apr 2026); live-out care is hourly, typically £20–£30.
  • Experience. An advanced au pair or career nanny commands more than the statutory floor — and is worth it.
  • The au pair or nanny's age. Statutory minimum rates differ for 18–20 and 21+; the calculator handles both.

Every figure on this page reads live from our rates table, reviewed each April when statutory rates change — so what you see is never last year's number.
