What is a Babysitter Tax Calculator?

The Babysitter Tax Calculator helps babysitters and parents determine if taxes apply to babysitting income. If a babysitter earns above a certain amount, taxes like Social Security, Medicare, and income tax may apply.

For 2024, the threshold is $2,700. Earnings above this amount may be subject to taxes.
