Price
Savvy Nanny Payroll Services
Our Competition
In 2026, still the best value in household payroll.
Our usual rate of $50/month flat has been reduced to $39 for new clients + $50 annual filing fee through June of 2026.
Some are lower, some are higher.
Things to look out for:
- Discounts that look good until you read the fine print.
- Lack of transparency around annual filing fees
- Lack of crucial service features like impoundment, providing necessary year-end forms, etc.
- Locking you into the same quarterly or yearly rates when you no longer need service.
One monthly fee covers two employees?
Savvy Nanny Payroll Services
Our Competition
Our monthly rate covers two employees. Only $6/month for additional employees. This feature is especially useful when transitioning from one employee to another.
Most other payroll services’ monthly rate only cover one employee. And the cost of adding additional employees is often higher.
App Features
Savvy Nanny Payroll Services
Our Competition
Savvy Nanny pays taxes for you, as you go, each time you run payroll, no extra steps. It’s called IMPOUNDING. You want this!
Many of our competitors have mobile apps. But some do not have the feature to pay your employees the most secure way, through the ACH Network.
Automated Tax Payment When You Run Payroll
Savvy Nanny Payroll Services
Our Competition
Use our ‘RunPayroll’ App to do payroll on the go, anytime and anywhere.
Our app pays your employee in a timely manner in the most secure way, through the ACH network.
Some competitors do and some do not impound taxes for you each time you run payroll. If the payroll service does not impound, you will have a big tax payment every quarter. Do you want to track that tax payment to ensure you don’t overdraw your bank account? We didn’t think so!
Form Filing and Tax Payments done for you, no extra steps.
Savvy Nanny Payroll Services
Our Competition
Do you want your payroll service to make tax payments for you so that you don’t need to interface with any state or federal revenue agencies? If you don’t want tax agencies dealing directly with you for payments and form filing, come to us! As a premium service we act as a buffer so that you do not need to make any payments directly to the state or federal revenue agencies.
Some do, some don’t. Ask questions. Will you actually receive a Schedule H form at year’s end or just the data to do the form yourself? Are tax payments made by the payroll service directly or do they direct you to the state and federal agencies websites to make the payment yourself? These are important things to know.
Local Payroll taxes too!
Savvy Nanny Payroll Services
Our Competition
An increasing number of local municipalities are requiring household employers to pay local payroll taxes. We withhold ALL local taxes and send payment for those taxes in all but a few rare cases where we cannot.
Some do, some don’t. You would be surprised how many don’t. So ask!
Service Support
Savvy Nanny Payroll Services
Our Competition
Support is available to established clients through phone, email, and chat 7.30 a.m.-7p.m. Central Time plus Saturday hours with our US-based support team.
It is rare to find another service with that wide window of support hours. And some have overseas support teams.
Service in all 50 states.
Multi-state filing always available at no extra charge
Savvy Nanny Payroll Services
Our Competition
Available in all 50 States. If your employee lives over the border of another state; I’m looking at you – Wisconsin/Illinois, New York/New Jersey, Washington D.C./Virginia; we will make the necessary multistate provisions at no extra cost.
Some do, some don’t. You may run into an issue if the service you use operates in your state, but not the state your employee lives in. Or if you move. And if you do need multi-state filing, you may incur extra expense.
Cancel Anytime
Savvy Nanny Payroll Services
Our Competition
If you need year-end filing after cancellation with us, we have a deeply discounted 9.99/month rate to get you through the rest of the year. If you do not need any further filing or tax payments from us you can cancel with no further cost.
Each service has different policies around this. It is good to research as some will keep you on the hook for the full rate until after your annual forms are filed.
Specialized Service
Savvy Nanny Payroll Services
Our Competition
Savvy Nanny Payroll services understand the needs of parents and caregivers because we are parents and caregivers. Household payroll is all we do.
Be careful with big name payroll providers who usually cater to large business. Sometimes the household payroll service they provide is an afterthought to their other services and they are missing crucial features.
