Oklahoma nanny tax FAQ
How does the calculator estimate Oklahoma nanny taxes?
It adds up everything you owe as the employer in Oklahoma, on top of your nanny's wages.
- Federal FICA: 15.3% combined, split between you and your nanny
- Federal FUTA: 0.6% effective on the first $7,000
- Oklahoma SUTA: 0.2% - 5.8%
Oklahoma does tax individual income, but it does not require that tax to be withheld from a household employee's pay, so it never enters your employer cost. Your nanny still reports the wages on their own Oklahoma return. Figures are 2026 rates and use the 2026 FICA threshold of $3,000.
Does Oklahoma require state income tax withholding from a nanny's paycheck?
No. You are not required to withhold Oklahoma income tax from your nanny's pay, and NannyKeeper does not.
- Oklahoma treats domestic service in a private home as exempt from withholding
- Oklahoma does tax income, so your nanny reports these wages and pays what they owe on their own Oklahoma return
What's the minimum hourly rate I can pay a nanny in Oklahoma?
At least $7.25 an hour for a nanny in Oklahoma.
- Oklahoma sets no rate above the federal floor, so the federal minimum is what binds
- Some cities and counties may set a higher floor, so check your locality before you set a rate
- Overtime is 1.5x pay for hours over 40 in a week, under the FLSA
- Live-in nannies are exempt from FLSA overtime, but not from minimum wage
Does Oklahoma add disability or paid family leave premiums?
No. Oklahoma does not require state disability insurance or paid family leave for household employees.
- Your obligations are the federal baseline: FICA, FUTA and Schedule H
- Oklahoma state unemployment insurance still applies on the employer side
Why does my Oklahoma nanny's net pay differ from the calculator total?
Because they answer different questions. The calculator's employer total is what leaves your account; net pay is what lands in your Oklahoma nanny's.
- Federal FICA: 6.2% Social Security plus 1.45% Medicare, so 7.65% off the top
- Any federal income tax your nanny chose to have withheld
Your own share, the employer FICA match plus FUTA and SUTA, sits on top of gross pay rather than coming out of it.
