What will my maternity pay be?

[TinkRose]

Hi! I’m trying to work out how long I can afford to take off for maternity - please could someone help me to work my pay out? I earn roughly £2.5k after deductions. My maternity pay should be as follows:

• 4 weeks 100% pay
• 2 weeks 90% pay
• 12 weeks 50% pay plus SMP
• 21 weeks SMP

My usually fictional brain is just feeling too overwhelmed at the minute to work anything out! Thanks.

You can work it out on the gov website. You put in all your info (pay, hours, time off) and it should give you a breakdown

Do you have a link to this please? All I can find is the calculator that tells me I’ll get SMP.
