Enter your salary and select whether you are calculating statutory maternity pay (SMP), shared parental pay (ShPP), statutory sick pay (SSP), or maternity pay based on your employer’s enhanced policy. For SMP, you receive 90% of average weekly earnings for the first six weeks and then the flat statutory rate (or 90% if lower) for up to 33 more weeks. SSP is a flat weekly amount paid by your employer when you are off sick for more than three consecutive days, up to 28 weeks. Both SMP and SSP are taxable and subject to NI. The calculator shows your weekly and monthly statutory payments, and compares them to your normal take-home to help plan finances during leave.
