Parental Leave Calculators by Country

Parental leave policies vary dramatically across countries, making it essential for new and expecting parents to understand their specific entitlements based on location. Our country-specific parental leave calculators help families calculate their shared leave duration, paid weeks, and parental pay based on local regulations, qualifying periods, and pay structures. Whether you're planning time off to bond with your newborn, coordinating leave with your partner, estimating your financial situation during leave, or navigating eligibility requirements, these tools provide accurate calculations tailored to your country's unique legal framework.

Swedish parents benefit from 480 days of shared parental leave that can be divided flexibly between partners, with 390 days paid at varying rates based on income. Canadian families receive 40 weeks of combined parental leave at 55% of earnings, which can be shared between parents, while UK employees enjoy 52 weeks of shared parental leave with 37 weeks of paid leave. Spanish parents receive 16 weeks each of fully paid parental leave that must be taken within specific timeframes. Each calculator incorporates these local variations—including qualifying periods, minimum earnings thresholds, pay percentages, sharing options, and timing requirements—helping you plan your parental leave journey with confidence and understand your rights as new parents within your country's employment system.
