Theory — Maternity and parental benefit

Base / 30 × rate, daily rounding to cents, multiplied by days. Reserved nine weeks are always calculated at 70%. Average mode: qualifying completed-month pay total / month count × (1 − contribution deduction). Default 13.71% is for a typical employee; contribution caps and incomplete months require individual assessment. Do not enter raw absence-affected pay without the required adjustment. Business owners use the confirmed-base mode because short insurance histories have separate rules. The plan assigns maternity leave and transferable parental leave to the first parent and 9 weeks to the second, each with their own benefit basis. Additional fields cover confirmed “Za życiem” and supplementary leave cases. Amounts cover complete periods. The family plan also supports the “Za życiem” certificate: 65/67 shared parental weeks, including 9 non-transferable weeks. Supplementary maternity leave rounds qualifying hospital days up to weeks, capped at 8 or 15, paid at 100%. For births from week 37, a stay of at least two consecutive days must begin between days 5 and 28; only days 5–56 count. For premature births the relevant window is the first 8 or 15 weeks. Enter confirmed qualifying days only. Transitional cases, adoption and combining leave with work are outside this model.
