What it costs in Bengaluru

• part-time cleaning (jhadu-pocha)₹4.5k – ₹15k / month

  Sources disagree sharply, which is itself the finding. MyBuddyMaid quotes INR 4,500-9,000/month for 'task-based help for 1-4 hours a day' (sweeping-mopping, utensils, dusting, laundry on a fixed daily slot). EzyHelpers' Bengaluru guide of 24 July 2026 quotes INR 8,000-15,000/month for a part-time maid, priced by task bundle rather than by the hour - a single task such as utensils at the bottom, bundled sweeping, mopping, bathrooms and laundry near the top. The independent reference point is the IIHS survey of 9,636 households published December 2022, which found Bengaluru households paying between INR 2,000 and INR 13,000 per month per worker.

  Moves with: Task bundle, hours, house size, family size, locality (Whitefield and Koramangala explicitly quoted at a premium), experience, language.

• cook, one meal₹6k – ₹18k / month

  IMPORTANT - not split by number of meals. EzyHelpers quotes INR 6,000-10,000/month for a part-time cook and INR 12,000-20,000 for a full-time cook. MyBuddyMaid quotes INR 10,000-18,000/month for a cook covering 'one or more daily meal slots'. The band here covers part-time cooking of one to two meals; a full-time cook is higher.

  Moves with: Number of meal slots, cuisine, family size, whether utensils are included.

• full-time live-out₹16k – ₹26k / month

  EzyHelpers quotes INR 16,000-22,000/month for a full-time maid working eight to ten hours a day, and states that combined cleaning and cooking for a family of four or more sits at INR 20,000-22,000. MyBuddyMaid quotes INR 16,000-26,000/month for '8-12 hours a day (or live-in)'. This band brackets Karnataka's notified housekeeping minimum for Zone I (INR 15,044.56/month), which is what a full-day worker is legally owed at minimum.

  Moves with: Hours, whether cooking is included, house and family size, locality.

• live-in₹20k – ₹30k / month

  EzyHelpers' 24 July 2026 Bengaluru guide quotes INR 22,000-30,000/month for a live-in maid, INR 25,000+ for a live-in cook, INR 20,000-25,000 for a live-in nanny and INR 20,000-30,000 for a live-in elder-care attendant. It states a private sleeping space and meals are included in the stated salary, and that pay rises with home size, presence of children or elderly, and night duties.

  Moves with: Home size, children or elderly in the house, night duties, role.

• nanny / childcare₹8k – ₹25k / month

  EzyHelpers quotes INR 8,000-12,000/month part-time, INR 16,000-20,000 full-time and INR 20,000-25,000 live-in for a nanny or babysitter. MyBuddyMaid quotes INR 14,000-24,000/month. Note that Karnataka's notified schedule prices 'child care' with laundry and housekeeping at INR 15,390.62/month Zone I for a full day.

  Moves with: Part-time vs full-time vs live-in, child's age, number of children, training.

• elder care₹15k – ₹30k / month

  EzyHelpers quotes INR 15,000-25,000/month full-time and INR 20,000-30,000 live-in for an elder-care attendant, with part-time priced per visit. MyBuddyMaid quotes INR 15,000-25,000/month for 'non-medical companionship and daily assistance for senior citizens at home'. Karnataka's schedule separately names 'Home Nurses' within the same scheduled employment.

  Moves with: Level of assistance, night duty, live-in vs live-out, training.
