Maternity leave calculator online

How does the calculator for calculating maternity in Ukraine from Prostobank.ua?

To calculate the amount of maternity leave, it is necessary to determine the number of days of maternity leave and the average daily wage of an employee.

The formula for calculating maternity payments: the amount of maternity payments = average daily salary * number of calendar days of maternity leave

Before going on maternity leave, employees are interested in knowing the amount of maternity benefits. On Prostopravo.com.ua the number of days of such a vacation is described in detail - 70 calendar days before childbirth and 56 calendar days after childbirth (70 calendar days - in case of birth of two or more children and in case of complications of childbirth). That is, a total of 126 days is obtained, or 140 days in the case of the birth of two or more children and in the event of complications in childbirth.

Using the prostobank.com maternity calculator, you can independently calculate maternity allowance. By default, the calculator contains the following data:

• length of maternity leave: 126 days
• billing period: 365 days
• current minimum wage in calculations
• maximum amount for accrual of ERUs in settlements

You only need to specify the amount of income (the amount of wages for the billing period, by default - for the year). If you have worked less than 12 months, you need to take the actual number of full months for the billing period; if you have not completed a full month - for the billing period, you need to take the actual number of full days. Please note that the calculation takes into account the salary on which ESV is accrued.

Average daily wage = amount of income for the billing period / number of days in the billing period

The number of days excluded from the billing period: temporary disability (sick leave), maternity leave, leave to care for a child up to 3 and 6 years, leave without pay.

Calculations on the calculator take into account such important legal restrictions:

1. According to The Law of Ukraine On Compulsory State Social Insurance the amount of maternity pay per month is not may exceed the maximum amount for accrual of ERUs (for the current amount of ERUs, see here) and cannot be less than that calculated from the minimum wage ( current minimum wage here).
2. If during the 12 months before the insured event the insurance period is less than 6 months, the daily payment cannot exceed double the minimum wage

To calculate the average daily minimum wage, divide the minimum wage by 30.44.

In the calculation results of the calculator, you will see the amount of maternity leave if the experience is less and more than 6 months.

An example of calculating maternity payments

Sick leave certificate due to pregnancy and childbirth for the period from May 25, 2021 to September 28, 2021 inclusive (126 calendar days). Settlement period — from May 2020 to April 2021 inclusive. The amount of wages for this period - 120000 UAH

Number of calendar days - 365

Average daily salary = 120000 / 365 = 328.77 UAH

Check if the average daily salary is higher than the minimum: 328.77> 6000 / 30.44

The amount of maternity payments (the amount of maternity benefits) = 328.77 * 126 = 41424.66 UAH
