Oklahoma nanny tax FAQ
How does the calculator estimate Oklahoma nanny taxes?
The calculator estimates the full employer cost for a household employee in Oklahoma: federal FICA (15.3% combined, split between you and your employee), federal FUTA (0.6% effective on the first $7,000), and Oklahoma SUTA (0.1% - 9.3%). Oklahoma doesn't allow state income tax to be withheld from a household employee's pay, and has no disability or PFL programs affecting household payroll, so none of those add to your employer cost. Your employee still reports the wages on their own Oklahoma return. Numbers update for tax year 2026 and reflect the 2026 FICA threshold of $3,000.
Does Oklahoma require state income tax withholding from a nanny's paycheck?
Oklahoma has a state income tax but specifically exempts wages for domestic service in a private home from withholding (68 O.S. § 2385.1). You do not withhold Oklahoma state income tax from your nanny's paycheck. Your nanny remains responsible for reporting those wages and paying any income tax they owe on their own Oklahoma return.
What's the minimum hourly rate I can pay a nanny in Oklahoma?
Oklahoma uses the federal minimum wage of $7.25/hour for household employees. Some local ordinances may set a higher floor — verify your city or county. FLSA overtime (1.5x for hours over 40 in a week) applies to most household employees, with a narrow exception for live-in nannies who are FLSA-exempt from 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, Schedule H) plus Oklahoma state unemployment insurance.
Why does my Oklahoma nanny's net pay differ from the calculator total?
In Oklahoma, the gross-to-net difference comes from federal FICA (6.2% Social Security + 1.45% Medicare = 7.65% withheld from the employee), any federal income tax your nanny chose to have withheld. Your share — the employer FICA match and FUTA + SUTA — sits on top of the gross, not subtracted from it. The calculator separates "employer cost" (your total outlay) from "employee net pay" (what lands in their bank account).
