How Paternity Pay is Calculated
Paternity pay calculation varies significantly by country. Here's how different countries calculate it:
- Percentage of earnings: Many countries pay a percentage of your average weekly earnings (e.g., 90% in UK, 55% in Canada, 100% in France and Spain).
- Fixed rates: Some countries use fixed weekly rates (e.g., £172.48/week in UK, $882.75/fortnight in Australia).
- Combination: Some countries use a combination - percentage for initial period, then fixed rate.
- Caps and minimums: Most countries have maximum weekly pay caps and minimum earnings requirements to qualify.
- Qualifying periods: You typically need to work for your employer for a minimum period and meet earnings thresholds.
Important: The calculator provides estimates based on general country rules. Your actual pay may vary based on your specific employment contract, employer policies, tax deductions, and local regulations. Always verify with your HR department or local authorities.
