Formula Used
The base hourly rate is calculated as:
Base Rate = (Hourly Minimum × Experience Multiplier) × Location Factor
Where:
- Hourly Minimum = $18.25 (Ontario minimum wage for 16+ years old)
- Experience Multiplier ranges from 1.0 (new graduate) to 1.5 (5+ years experience)
- Location Factor ranges from 1.0 (other cities) to 1.2 (Toronto)
Weekly salary is calculated as:
Weekly Salary = Base Rate × Hours per Week
Annual salary is calculated as:
Annual Salary = Weekly Salary × 52
If benefits are included, an additional 10-15% is added to the annual salary.
Worked Example
For a nanny working 40 hours per week in Toronto with 3-5 years experience and benefits included:
- Base Rate = ($18.25 × 1.3) × 1.2 = $29.85/hour
- Weekly Salary = $29.85 × 40 = $1,194
- Annual Salary = $1,194 × 52 = $62,128
- With benefits = $62,128 × 1.125 = $69,900
The calculator would show a recommended salary range of $65,000-$75,000 for this scenario.
