Your income through parental leave

New parent money

Answer a few quick questions and we'll picture your statutory pay, any employer top-up you tell us about, and your household income through the leave. It's an illustration on your own numbers, and it clears when you leave the page.

What we assumed

Average weekly earnings estimated as your annual pay ÷ 52, a rough stand-in for the real 8-week reference period we can't see.
Statutory Maternity Pay of 90% of earnings for 6 weeks, then the lower of the flat rate or 90% of earnings for up to 33 weeks. Figures are from the current tax-year rules.
Any employer top-up and partner income shown are the figures you entered: your own numbers, not statutory ones.
Statutory pay is UK-wide; the amounts change each April, so GOV.UK is the place to confirm your own position.
