Paternity Leave Calculators by Country

Paternity leave policies vary significantly across countries, making it essential for expectant fathers to understand their specific entitlements based on location. Our country-specific paternity leave calculators help new and expecting fathers calculate their leave duration, paid weeks, and paternity 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, or navigating eligibility requirements, these tools provide accurate calculations tailored to your country's unique legal framework.

A Spanish father typically receives 16 weeks of fully paid paternity leave at 100% of salary, while a UK employee gets 1-2 weeks of Statutory Paternity Pay. French fathers enjoy 28 days of paid paternity leave, and Swedish parents benefit from 240 days of shared parental leave that can be used flexibly. Canadian fathers receive 5 weeks of paid paternity leave at 55% of earnings. Each calculator incorporates these local variations—including qualifying periods, minimum earnings thresholds, pay percentages, and timing requirements—helping you plan your paternity leave with confidence and understand your rights as a new father.
