House Help Salary Calculator
Work out the exact monthly pay for a maid, housekeeper, cook, nanny or driver from their attendance and advances — then download a branded PDF salary slip. Free, private, and it runs entirely in your browser.
How the salary is calculated
The calculator uses the standard attendance-based formula that household employers use worldwide:
Net payable = ((Days present + Half days × 0.5) ÷ Working-days base) × Monthly salary + Bonus − Advances
The working-days base is how many days a full month is worth — usually 26 (a six-day week with a weekly day off) or 30 (all days paid). A deeper walkthrough with examples is in the salary calculation guide, and the fields a good slip should carry are covered in the salary slip format guide.
Do it once here — or automatically every month
This tool is perfect for a one-off calculation. But doing it by hand each month means remembering every absence and every cash advance. The free StaffAround app removes that: mark attendance with one tap a day, log advances as you give them, and the app builds the same salary slip automatically at month end — ready to share on WhatsApp or download as a PDF.
Frequently asked questions
How is house help salary calculated from attendance?
Divide the agreed monthly salary by the working-days base (commonly 26 or 30) to get the daily rate, multiply by the effective days worked (days present plus half days counted as 0.5), then add any bonus and subtract any advances. That final figure is the net payable.
Is this salary calculator free, and does it work for maids, nannies and drivers?
Yes. It is completely free and works for any household staff role — maid, housekeeper, cook, nanny, gardener or driver. You can also download a branded PDF salary slip. Nothing is uploaded; the calculation runs entirely in your browser.
Which currencies does the calculator support?
It supports Indian Rupee, US Dollar, UAE Dirham, Saudi Riyal, Qatari Riyal, Kuwaiti Dinar, Omani Rial, Bahraini Dinar, British Pound, Euro, and Singapore, Australian and Canadian Dollars — so it works for households in India, the Gulf, the US, the UK and beyond.
