Find out exactly what you'll be paid on maternity or paternity leave. Enter your average weekly earnings and see your Statutory Maternity Pay or Statutory Paternity Pay for 2026/27, including eligibility and the gap between week 39 and week 52.
This free maternity and paternity pay calculator gives you an instant estimate of your Statutory Maternity Pay (SMP) and Statutory Paternity Pay (SPP) for 2026/27. Enter your salary and how long you've been employed, and the calculator checks your eligibility, works out your week-by-week rate, and gives you a full total — including the gap between the 39 weeks that are actually paid and the full 52-week maternity leave entitlement.
The calculator covers both statutory parental pay entitlements for 2026/27:
£194.32 a week for 2026/27, up from £187.18 in 2025/26.
Standard allowance is 129 a week for 2026/27, up from £125.
9% on profits between £26 weeks continuous employment by the qualifying week (15 weeks before the due date).50,270, and 2% above that (2026/27).
From April 2026, paternity leave is a day-one right — but paternity pay still requires the 26-week qualifying period.
This calculator is designed for employees in the UK who are expecting a baby, adopting, or whose partner is expecting. If you don't meet the eligibility criteria for SMP, the calculator flags that you may be entitled to Maternity Allowance instead — paid by the DWP at the same rate, but completely tax-free.
Once you know your SMP or SPP figure, use the “See your take-home after tax” button to find out exactly what lands in your bank account once Income Tax and National Insurance are deducted — both are taxable, just like normal wages.
