Paid leave estimates
Paid maternity and parental leave varies by employer, state law, and short-term disability policies. This calculator estimates total gross pay during paid weeks: weekly paid amount = weekly gross × (pay percent ÷ 100), then × paid weeks. It does not model FMLA job protection, state programs, or tax withholding.
Some employers pay 100% for a short period then partial pay; run the calculator twice for each phase and add totals. State paid-family-leave programs (CA, NY, NJ, etc.) use their own formulas — check your state labor department for official rates.
Example: $1,200/week gross, 8 paid weeks at 60% = $720/week × 8 = $5,760 gross paid leave before taxes.

Common questions
Is this medical or legal advice?
No — planning estimate only. Eligibility, job protection, and benefit amounts depend on your employer and state. Confirm with HR.
Does FMLA guarantee paid leave?
FMLA provides unpaid job-protected leave in qualifying cases. Paid leave depends on employer policy, disability insurance, or state programs.
