Maternity Leave Calculators by Country

Maternity leave policies vary dramatically across countries, making it crucial to understand your specific entitlements based on your location. Our country-specific maternity leave calculators help expectant mothers calculate their leave duration, paid weeks, and maternity pay based on local regulations, qualifying periods, and pay structures. Whether you're planning time off before and after birth, estimating your financial situation during leave, or navigating eligibility requirements, these tools provide accurate calculations tailored to your country's unique legal framework.

A UK employee may receive up to 52 weeks of maternity leave with 39 weeks of paid leave at varying rates, while a Canadian worker typically gets 15 weeks of paid maternity leave at 55% of earnings. French employees enjoy 16 weeks of fully paid maternity leave at 100% of salary, and German workers receive 14 weeks with full pay protection. Australian mothers are entitled to 18 weeks of paid parental leave at the national minimum wage rate. Each calculator incorporates these local variations—including qualifying weeks, minimum earnings thresholds, pay percentages, and pre-birth leave requirements—helping you plan your maternity journey with confidence and financial clarity.
