How much would a part time nanny get paid, per hour, in the SE / East Anglia please?

[FrannyandZooey]

I mean a regular job, not through an agency or anything. Thanks

Depends on experience and whether they had their own child. I would expect to pay at least £7.50 per hour gross, and more likely £8.50-£9, but I do tend to favour older and therefore more experienced nannies

i would say much nearer £10 ph gross

a p/t job wouldn't accrue tax would it?

Depends how much it was per week. Over about 90 gets taxed I think. And also depends whether you had another job that already used your tax free allowance.

thanks this is helpful

please add more opinions if you know the answer - I expect there is some variation?

The first £96 or so is NI free for bother employer and employee. The tax is more complicated depended on the employee's tax coding. Hence always negotiate gross, not net. Then you only have to worry about Employer's NI.

I would expect there will be a range for salaries, £7 to £12 gross would be my guess. Looking through local job adverts can help get a better idea.

A part-time nanny may well have other employment, so very important to agree gross salary.

NIC rates - for 07/08 Lower Earnings Limit is £87, so if paying that much or more per week, employers need to be doing PAYE or Simplified PAYE. Also you MUST do Simplified PAYE / PAYE, if your employee has another job.

no idea F&Z, sorry.
BUT can I ask if the quote you did today around tea-time on another thread including my name with your comment "marvellous " was a dig at the OP or me. It's late, I'm being dim and I can't work it out.

Not quite true Nannynick - the lower earnings limit is the minimum that the employee needs to earn in order to qualify for certain benefits. It is going above the priamry threshold, £100 per week, which will trggier NI payments. Tax will depend on her coding which will in turn depend on her other taxableincome if any.

But P25 (part of SimplifiedPAYE) says
"If you take on a new employee, who earns more than £87 a week or £377 a month (the Lower Earnings Limit for NICs) or your employee has another job ? fill in form P16A"

Thus to me that implies that HMRC are wanting paperwork from employers, even if there are no employers NICs to pay.

chasingsquirrels it was at the OP, sorry it wasn't clear

I couldn't believe the tone she took with you and the other people who had posted!

Thanks everyone, i am still v unclear about the tax thing. Where can I read more about it, please? (or get dp who understands such things, to read it)

The revenue website has loads of information and may be the best place to start www.hmrc.gov.uk. Anything specific I could probably help, e-mail [email protected] if you want.
Glad it was OP not me , I was a bit harsh, but was convinced (and still not unconvinced) it was a sales pitch.

Franny, if it was a regular salaried job, it would all depend on how much you were earning as to whether you would end up paying PAYE. In general (for this tax year ending 5 april 2008), everyone gets a £5225 tax free allowance per year (so if you earned under that amount, you wouldn't pay PAYE) - after that, you pay 10% tax up to £2230 and then 22% on the next £2231 to £34600 (and it's 40% on anything above £34,600). For National Insurance, you need to earn more than £100 per week (for this tax year) before you have to pay it.

Direct gov is very good for things like this. I've linked to the page on part time earnings but if you look through the links, there's other stuff on working and tax.

Round here, most nannies are earning between £8-£9 per hour net which roughly equates to about £10-12 per hour gross.
