Maternity Leave Calculator (Australia)

(Includes income test, work test, and residency rules - see disclaimer below)
Check this if you are eligible for 12 months Unpaid Parental Leave under the National Employment Standards (NES).

Disclaimer: This calculator provides an *estimate* based on the current Australian Government Parental Leave Pay (PLP) scheme rules (as of November 2025). The actual entitlement depends on the child's date of birth/adoption and meeting the full eligibility criteria (work test, income test, etc.). It does **not** include any employer-specific paid leave which may be offered in addition to the government payment.

Always confirm your exact entitlements and make a formal claim via Services Australia.
