Track the hours of the person you employ, pay them correctly, and file your household taxes without losing a weekend. Designed so doing the right thing is the easiest path — for both of you.
For families with nannies, housekeepers, or elder caregivers — same payroll, same care.
We're not another payroll tool with "household" in the marketing copy. The shape of the data + the shape of the screens is built for this kind of work specifically.
If the person you employ works for other families too, they see all their hours and earnings in one place — and the other families never see anything about you. They'll thank you for being the family who set this up.
Your employee tracks their own time in three taps. If they fix something, both of you see the correction — no more "you said 30, I have 28" at the end of the week.
Every number is labeled. "Estimated" until you approve. "Paid" only when the money has actually moved into their account. No suspense.
We know when banks are open, when payday should land, and how many business days back to nudge you. Calm reminders. Never alarm-red.
Most payroll software tries to do everything from day one — usually badly. We started with what's actually useful today (hours, records, your employee's app) and we're getting the harder part (handling all your tax filings) right before we ship it.
Flat, transparent. The same number every month, no per-employee creep.
Use everything we have today: hours tracking, your employee's app, record-keeping. You handle the actual paycheck the way you do now.
Join the waitlist →We pay your employee, handle every tax form, and file everything. You just approve. We'll let you know the moment this is live.
Get notified when full payroll ships →Schedule H, not Form 941.Household payroll files annually with the employer's personal 1040, not quarterly like a business. The $2,700 IRS FICA wage threshold for 2024 (and 2025) applies; we flag it inline in the dashboard.
Authorization, the right way.We capture either Form 8655 (reporting-agent designation) or Form 2678 (employer-of-record), depending on the household's arrangement. The plain-language acknowledgment makes it clear that signing doesn't shift the employer's responsibility.
Live-in OT & multi-state. Our overtime engine reads work_state + live_in per employment, so the 10-state live-in exception is data, not hardcode. Multi-state worker registrations track per employment, not per employer.
Filing provider. When we ship full payroll (the next thing on our roadmap), the filing provider will be named on this page before any wage moves. No silent decisions.
It's actually different. When you hire a caregiver or other household worker, the IRS treats it as real employment — but you file the taxes on YOUR personal return (Schedule H), once a year, not quarterly like a business. Generic payroll software either doesn't handle this or forces you through the business path and overcharges. We built around the household case specifically.
Set up your household, invite your employee, track their hours, generate pay stubs with estimated taxes, keep all their records for 3+ years, and prepare your Schedule H worksheet so you (or your accountant) can file. You'll still write their checks the way you do today — but you'll have the paperwork done right.
That's the next thing we ship. Real withholding, real tax filing, real money movement through licensed payroll rails. We're not shipping it until it's right (and reviewed by an attorney who knows household payroll). You'll get one email when it goes live.
Yes for the W-2 ones — that's exactly what we're built for. We don't lecture you about the informal arrangements; we just give you correct records for the on-the-books help. Many households have a mix, and we make the on-the-books side honest without touching the rest.
Nothing right now, while we're in beta. When the full-payroll version ships, it's $79/month per household — flat, no per-employee add-ons that quietly grow your bill.
No, and this is actually built into the database, not just the screen. Your employee can see all their hours and pay across every family they work for, in their own private view. None of you ever see each other.
No. Each family sees only the hours and pay you logged for them. Your unified earnings view — every family, every paycheck, your YTD — is yours alone. The families never see each other and never see your other employers' names.
That's on our short list. Right now we treat the day you sign up as day one. CSV import is coming.
One when we open the beta to your kind of household. One when the full-payroll version is ready. No marketing in between.
