Household staff salaries
Monthly salary paid to the staff member, by daily shift. Live-in is the app’s “Full Time” tier and needs a servant room.

 DriverLicence-checked, matched to your car | ₹20,000 | ₹22,000 | ₹24,000 | ₹27,000 |
These are salaries, not neato’s charge. neato’s service fee for sourcing, verifying and placing staff is separate, depends on the engagement, and is explained before you confirm anything.
What changes the salary
Each of these is a question the request form asks, so the quote you get matches the job.
Shift length
The largest factor. Each step from 8 to 10 to 12 hours adds about ₹2,000 a month on every household role.
Live-in
A live-in placement is the top tier and needs a servant room — the form asks whether one is available.
Household size
A cook for three and a cook for nine are different jobs. The cook form asks total members and meals for that reason.
Special requirements
A specific cuisine, newborn care, an automatic car. Tell us on the request and we match against it.
