Maternity Leave Entitlement Calculator

Based on the default pattern below, a typical balance is 40 weeks. Adjust the inputs for your exact figure.

How it's worked out

52 weeks total − 12 weeks taken = 40 weeks remaining

Audit note

This is your statutory LEAVE balance only, never pay. None of these entitlements are pro-rated by hours or days worked, and eligibility for the leave itself is a day-one right regardless of length of service — pay may still depend on continuous service.

Stop tracking this by hand

Statutory leave dates and balances are easy to miscalculate by hand. Tempry tracks every type of leave against the right statutory rules automatically, so notice deadlines and remaining balances are never worked out on a calendar again.

How this calculation works

Maternity, paternity, shared parental, adoption and parental bereavement leave are all day-one rights in the UK — see how many weeks apply to each, and how much is left once some has already been taken.

Worked example

52 weeks total − 12 weeks taken = 40 weeks remaining

Frequently asked questions

How many weeks of maternity leave am I entitled to in the UK?
52 weeks in total — 26 weeks of Ordinary Maternity Leave followed by 26 weeks of Additional Maternity Leave. It's a day-one right, so there's no minimum length of service required to take it.
Does maternity leave get pro-rated for part-time work?
No — the 52 weeks are the same whether you work full-time or part-time. Only your pay (not covered by this calculator) may depend on your earnings and length of service.
How much maternity leave do I have left?
Subtract the weeks you've already taken from 52 — the calculator does this for you as you adjust the slider.
