Maternity pay help!!!

[Missssmamaaa]

Ok so I work in a school, term time position and I earn £651 4 weekly.
I started maternity leave in the 23rd of July and I get 6 weeks at 90% followed by 33 weeks at 50% plus SMP.

Can someone help me work out what my income will be?
In July I got paid 632 (27th July)
In Aug I got paid 585 (24th July)
On Sept 21st I will be getting 638.
So does it mean after I've had the 6 weeks I will earn more than my actual wage? If it's half my pay plus SMP?

Help please.

No, the amount can't exceed your normal full pay.

the amount can't exceed your normal full pay

But schools can (or could 9 years ago) spread your school part over more weeks to stop it going above your normal pay but you get the amount. I never understood. While on Mat leave I didn’t have childcare costs so my takehome was £400 extra per month… obviously after mat leave my childcare increased (especially as I had twins so 3 in childcare).
