How this calculator helps
What the calculator is for
The parental benefits calculator helps estimate maternity benefit and parental allowance planning. It shows an indicative maternity amount based on income and monthly parental allowance based on the selected drawing period.
How the calculation works
The calculation is simplified and uses preset assumptions for maternity length, income replacement and the total parental allowance. The parental allowance is divided into the chosen number of months so you can see how the pace affects monthly family income.
Practical example
Example: if you plan parental leave for 30 months, the calculator divides the total allowance into monthly payments. Extending the period lowers the monthly amount but keeps support for longer.
What to watch out for
The exact entitlement and maximum drawing options depend on current rules and individual circumstances. Treat the result as informative and verify it with the relevant authority.
