How to calculate maternity leave in 2018 (example and online calculator)

Consider the situation when a woman goes on maternity leave in January 2018 for a period of 140 days (normal pregnancy and childbirth without complications).

In this case, when establishing maternity payments ( , ), taking into account the approved calculation rules, income for the full 2016 and 2017 will be taken into account:

  • Revenue for 2016 amounted to:
    • salary - 150,000 rubles;
    • vacation pay - 14,000 rubles;
    • sick leave - 6000 rubles. (14 days).

  • maternity allowance:
    (150000 + 14000 + 200000 + 17000) / (366 + 365 - 14 - 5) × 140 = RUB 74915.73
  • allowance for caring for a child up to 1.5 years:
    (150000 + 14000 + 200000 + 17000) / (366 + 365 - 14 - 5) × 30.4 × 0.4 = RUB 6506.97

    During the decree, a woman is entitled to all kinds of benefits so that she has enough money to raise and support a baby until she herself can work. Thus, the state takes care of the young mother and her child. We will talk about what kind of social support a woman is entitled to on maternity leave in this article.

    Maternity Benefit Regulations

    Russia has adopted Federal Law No. 255, which regulates compulsory insurance for women who are temporarily unemployed due to the birth of a child. The law does not define payments for mothers without official employment, even in the event of pregnancy, but support from the state can still be obtained. There are payments due at childbirth, even if the mother does not have a job. If a woman wants to social support from the state, she should register the absence of work in the employment center.

    A pregnant woman can count on money from the 30th week of pregnancy, provided that she is registered as unemployed. Due to the lack of work, one can register at any time and no one can refuse this right during the applicant's pregnancy. After giving birth, the mother will be able to take a vacation with the help of a sick leave, but immediately after that, she will stop receiving unemployment money.

    Unfortunately, mothers who do not work officially, who are entitled to social benefits, will receive much smaller amounts of support from the state than working citizens receive. Any parent can receive maternity leave. If the husband of a young mother works, then he will be able to receive the necessary support at his enterprise.

    Bodies (department) social protection of the population provides for payments to the following categories of persons:

    • families with a child in which parents do not have a job or study;
    • single mothers who are not formally employed.

    These categories of citizens can receive financial support at the place of registration or actual stay.

    Nuances of obtaining financial support

    The benefit for pregnancy and childbirth cannot be paid to non-working women from the current account of the social insurance authority, where enterprises make monthly deductions. From this account, money can be transferred only to employed mothers who have gone on maternity leave. Moreover, not all unemployed women can count on social support. According to the law, money is relied on only in such conditions:

    1. 1. If an unemployed woman was fired from her job during the liquidation of the enterprise.
    2. 2. If a young mother is laid off.
    3. 3. When studying in an educational institution full-time.
    4. 4. Upon termination of the activity of the individual entrepreneur, which was carried out by the pregnant woman.
    5. 5. At the end of the powers of notaries.
    6. 6. At the completion of a lawyer's license.

    If a citizen leaves the enterprise for own will She is not entitled to maternity funding. Only those unemployed pregnant women who are registered with the social security and insurance fund can receive state support. The fund will be obliged to transfer money to them monthly.

    A full-time mother of a child who is one and a half years old can receive money for bearing a fetus, permission from pregnancy and further maintenance.

    How to calculate the amount of due payments?

    The amount of assistance for an unemployed citizen to care for a small child is calculated based on the amount of unemployment subsidies. If a woman is not employed or was fired at her own request, she can only receive minimum payments equal to 613.14 rubles per month.

    When applying for a student allowance, its size will directly depend on the amount of the scholarship received. Students in daytime educational institutions receive payments according to the size of the scholarship established by the federal budget. It doesn’t matter if the girl is studying on a budget or contract basis.

    If the girl previously worked and was fired, the calculation of the amount of the allowance due to her is carried out taking into account the previously received salary. However, the break in work should be less than a year. In the first 3 months from the moment of leaving the last job, mothers are paid 75% of the average salary per month, the next 4 months the allowance will be only 60% of the previously received salary. After the expiration of the year, the amount of payments will be reduced to the minimum minimum wage rate.

    What payments can a non-working citizen count on?

    Regardless of the status, availability of work, every pregnant citizen of Russia has the right to social benefits. She is entitled to benefits during the development of the fetus and to care for the baby. Legislation provides various forms support for families when applying for social security.

    There are several types of financial support:

    1. 1. One-time payments after childbirth.
    2. 2. until they reach one and a half years.
    3. 3. Other payments intended to support families with minors and minors.

    The one-time payment for a birth in 2017 is 16,350.33 rubles. on a child. Monthly financial support until the baby reaches one and a half years is 3065.69 rubles. At the birth of a second woman, support is due in the amount of 6,131.37 rubles a month. This amount of support is due to part-time citizens working part-time and student students.

    If a girl receives an allowance at the birth of a baby, she will be offered a choice of two options for receiving financial support. The first of these involves further transfers of money due to unemployment, the second - the replacement of unemployment payments with payments that rely on child care.

    Other payments and their amounts - what support can you still count on?

    The legislative provisions of the Russian Federation allow, in which a woman works unofficially or does not work, at the birth of a child, receive food for the baby from the dairy kitchen until the child reaches 2 years of age. In the absence of a dairy kitchen near the family's place of residence, social protection services must assign regular payments to the family, which should be sufficient to compensate for the cost of food not received. The amount of such compensation depends only on the region.

    Families below the poverty line, in which parents do not have permanent employment, are entitled to payments for the maintenance of minors, the amount of which directly depends on the number of children. To receive support, it is necessary that the income received for each family member does not reach the established subsistence level. Also, the amount of state support depends on the region where the family lives, but usually it is about 300 rubles per month for each baby. That is, a mother of two children will additionally receive about 600 rubles a month.

    Payments also rely on adult children studying in higher, vocational or secondary technical educational institutions. For them, the money is transferred to the mother every month until the end of the child's studies.

    How can I apply for maternity leave?

    For registration, a non-working mother must contact the social security authorities at the place of registration. She will have to prepare a whole package of documents confirming the right to receive state assistance. In order to receive the due support for pregnancy and permission from childbirth, you need to prepare:

    1. 1. An application written in any form on the appointment of due monthly payments.
    2. 2. A certificate obtained from a medical institution on pregnancy for a period of 30 weeks.
    3. 3. An extract from the work book, which must indicate the last place of work. The extract must first be certified by a notary.
    4. 4. A document from the employment center that the applicant is officially unemployed.

    To this package of documents, student girls will need to attach a certificate from a university or institute confirming the form of education. After 10 days from the date of submission of documents, employees in the bodies of social protection of the population must decide on the possibility of assigning benefits to a woman.

    To apply for state support for her young child, an unemployed woman will have to contact the social security service and provide employees with the following set of documents:

    • personal passport;
    • the birth document of the baby for which you need to receive benefits;
    • certificates for other children, if any;
    • information about the composition of the family;
    • details of the account to which the benefits are to be paid;
    • certificate of absence of monthly unemployment payments.


    According to the law, which strictly regulates the making of payments and the attribution of state support to pregnant women and mothers, the social protection service must consider awarding payments to a woman within 10 days after receiving the relevant application and supporting documents. After confirming the possibility of transferring support funds, transfers will be made monthly, no later than the 26th day of each month. Money can be transferred both to the applicant's bank account and transferred by mail.

    Of course, the amount of subsidies to unemployed pregnant women and mothers is very small. The state is trying to increase the amount of assistance, but so far there is frankly little money. It remains only to hope that in the future the amount of payments will increase, and today it’s easy to get maternity, which you are entitled to by law.

    In this article, we will look at how much you need to work out to get. The amount for payments depends on how much work experience the mother has, so citizens often reduce themselves in order to increase the length of service.

    Decree funding is cash assistance in the form of a set of benefits that an employee is entitled to due to pregnancy and the birth of a child. This list includes:

    • payments upon registration early dates pregnancy, up to three months;
    • one-time financing at the birth of a baby;
    • vacation days due to pregnancy and childbirth;
    • payments every month for raising a newborn up to one and a half years.

    Financing comes from the state treasury. Every pregnant woman can get the rest she needs, but those who are officially employed have more privileges.

    In addition to a fixed payment (monetary assistance after registration for an early period of up to three months), if a citizen has official work, she submits to receive the due rest. To this end, she goes to a medical institution and takes a special medical certificate indicating temporary disability. If this document is available and submitted, payment is made in full, excluding seniority.

    Women who do not have formal employment do not receive payments before childbirth, as they are not entitled to leave.

    If funding is provided for the upbringing of a child up to a year and a half, a working woman has the right to apply for an amount that reaches 40% of the previous salary, but not lower than the subsistence minimum rate. If the salary does not reach the required level, then the unemployed citizen is guaranteed the minimum rate established by the Labor Code in such amounts in accordance with the current regulations:

    • Raising the first baby up to a year and a half - 3065.69 rubles.
    • Raising a second baby up to a year and a half - 6131.37 rubles.

    Terms of work for receiving payments

    Leave is calculated in connection with pregnancy and childbirth, as well as monthly funding for raising a baby in the same way as sick leave accrual. For this purpose, wages are taken for the last 24 months before the woman was pregnant.

    To receive the maximum possible amount, you should have employment in the last 24 months before pregnancy. At the same time, any employee can get the right to issue a decree, only the size of payments differs.

    If insufficient work experience

    If a citizen has been employed at the workplace for less than 2 years, the total amount of accruals should be divided by 730 (731) days. If the salary is less than the average daily income according to the minimum wage, payment vacation days are made from calculations that operate according to the minimum wage. Leave is accrued on the basis of the minimum wage, and calculations are made even if the length of service is less than 6 months.

    Work experience when paying maternity leave

    Some women are afraid to go on maternity leave because they are not sure if maternity leave is included in the length of service. Pension accrual over time of departure depends on this factor.

    • Period of employment.
    • Period of stay on maternity leave.
    • In a certain case, training at a university and in the army.
    According to the regulations, the length of service includes the time frame when the employment relationship between the employer and the employee is carried out. This means that the work experience begins on the date when the order to start work is issued and signed. When the employment contract is terminated, the length of service also ends.

    According to labor law, rest due to bearing a child and giving birth is given before the baby is one and a half years old. A citizen can separately submit an application to the personnel department, after which leave continues up to a maximum period of three years. Maternity days are included in the length of service.

    Women planning a pregnancy are often interested in answers to questions directly related to prenatal leave, parental leave, as well as cash benefits guaranteed by the state during this period.

    They want to find out how maternity pay is paid - before or after childbirth. Parents-to-be are looking for detailed information about the benefits they are entitled to, along with a list of documents that must be presented to the employer in order to receive payments.

    It is worth noting that most women by maternity mean absolutely all state-guaranteed payments in favor of pregnant women and new mothers. How is maternity leave paid?

    2. Application addressed to the director.

    The accountant who receives your documents should inform you about how much maternity leave is paid, since each organization has specific dates for transferring funds to employee accounts.

    How much maternity leave is paid? The amount of money provided to a woman directly depends on the amount of her salary and can be made at any of the last places of work, however, at the place of payment, it is necessary to confirm the fact of accrual of such benefits from another employer.

    To calculate the maternity benefit, you can apply to replace the billing year with an earlier one in order to receive the maximum (if possible) payments.

    If the period of the billing year includes the time of work at another enterprise, then the pregnant woman is obliged to provide a certificate of salary for that period from the relevant employer.

    Grounds for recalculation of maternity payments

    If you have some additional documents or you decide to recalculate maternity payments under other criteria, you have the right to apply for a change in the amount of payments during the statutory limitation period (which is three years).

    In what amount will a woman receive a benefit issued in several places

    If two years before applying for maternity leave, a woman was employed in several jobs, in this case, maternity funds are paid on the basis of the total amount of earnings with the provision of all salary certificates, but she will be able to receive payments for caring for an already born child only at the rate of from one source.

    Typically, a place of work is chosen where average income women was the largest.

    If future mom at the time of providing her with a sick leave from the antenatal clinic, she is employed in several institutions at once, but for the previous two years she was on the staff of another employer, then maternity payments are made by one of the existing employers at the choice of the woman in labor based on average income.

    If the number of places of work for a woman exceeded the corresponding number when applying for maternity leave, then in this case, funds are provided either in all places of employment, or in one, but based on the total income of all employers.

    Are maternity benefits paid to the unemployed?

    Size and general terms and Conditions payments of maternity benefits are of particular interest to unemployed women in a position. What types of benefits are due to them in connection with their pregnancy, as well as with the onset of motherhood, and what amount of payments should be expected?

    Payment of benefits accrued in connection with pregnancy and childbirth

    How are maternity benefits paid to housewives? Payments are not made if the woman was unemployed or became so during pregnancy. This is the general practice. However, there are categories to which the allowance is still due:

    If the dismissal of the expectant mother was associated with the liquidation of the place of work, as well as the termination of the activities of individuals as individual entrepreneurs, with the loss of authority by notaries involved in private practice, with the termination of the status of a lawyer within twelve months that have elapsed until the day the listed persons were recognized as unemployed in the manner prescribed by law.

    How are maternity benefits paid - before or after childbirth? The allowance for women is allocated at the expense of the FSS from the amounts provided by the federal budget and is paid after applying with a corresponding application.

    How long maternity pay is paid can be clarified at the regional branch of the FSS by calling the hotline.

    Additional accruals are possible at the expense of the relevant subject in the event that the local authorities provide additional maternity benefits, if the woman at the time of the provision of the disability certificate is studying at an educational institution of various degrees of accreditation, as well as at institutes of postgraduate education. In this case, maternity allowances will be equal to the size of the scholarship of the corresponding educational institution and are paid at the expense of the federal budget or the budgets of the constituent entities of the Russian Federation.

    The relationship between the employment service and the pregnant woman

    Can an unemployed person receive maternity leave? How is it paid in this case? If a woman has lost her job, she can register with the employment service and receive unemployment benefits.

    Women officially recognized as unemployed cannot legally receive maternity benefits. While on maternity leave, a woman is not entitled to unemployment benefits. The period specified in the disability certificate, which is given to her for a period of thirty weeks, is the period during which the specialist working in the employment service does not schedule visits to the service in order to find work.

    If the woman wishes and is able to start working at the end of this period, unemployment benefits are renewed (if the payment period has not expired). If the mother is not ready to start work, payments are suspended.

    Issuance of a one-time allowance to expectant mothers who are registered for early pregnancy in the antenatal clinic

    The allowance, which is paid to a woman in case of early registration (that is, up to twelve weeks), is assigned and paid by the employer on the basis of a certificate. Accordingly, women who are not officially employed are not entitled to receive maternity leave due to the lack of authority of the employment center to pay them.

    Women who have received dismissal in connection with the liquidation of the institution, as well as students, are entitled to receive benefits in a similar way to the practice already described.

    Receiving a childbirth allowance

    The father or mother of a newborn is entitled to a lump sum maternity benefit. When two or more children are born, the cash payment is made on the basis of each baby.

    Where you receive this benefit depends on the status of the parents:

    • If only one of the parents works, the childbirth allowance is calculated and paid out at the child's place of employment. For example, if a man works and a woman does not, the allowance can only be received at the father's place of work. This is established at the legislative level.
    • If both parents have the status of unemployed or are full-time students in educational institutions of any degree of accreditation, then this allowance is allocated at a time by the social protection authority at the place of residence of the father or mother of the child.
    • A single mother who has the status of an unemployed person has the right to receive a one-time allowance for the birth of a child by the social protection authority of the population at her place of residence.
    • A non-working mother-student in the case of full-time studies has the right to an allowance. It has been issued by the social security authorities since 2010, although previously the mother would have been forced to apply to her educational institution.

    You can receive money through postal organizations or banks, which are indicated by the parents.

    Allowance for the care of a child up to one and a half years

    How are maternity benefits paid after the baby is born? An unemployed woman can be assigned an allowance, which is issued every month for caring for a child, only if she does not receive unemployment compensation. Payment is possible at the place of residence from the day of birth until the child reaches the age of one and a half years.

    For students, there is a two-way system: they can choose either payments related to caring for the baby, or compensation for pregnancy and childbirth. How much maternity leave is paid to a woman who is studying on a full-time basis? They are made from the day of birth and within a year and a half in the first case, and from the day the maternity leave ends and until the same year and a half that the child turns.

    Required documents:

    • statement;
    • birth certificate of children (children) for the care of which the allowance is assigned;
    • birth certificate of the previous child with a copy (in case of death of the previous child, a death certificate with a copy is given);

    • a copy of the work book with the provision of an identity document;
    • certificate from the employment service about non-receipt of unemployment benefits (unless the mother is a student);
    • a certificate issued by the relevant organization confirming the residence of the person submitting the documents, together with the child who is supposed to be cared for;
    • for full-time students, a certificate of benefits paid earlier, as well as a certificate confirming the presence of this person in the lists of full-time students.

That is, she does not have the right to leave and transfer it to anyone.
