Amounts

The parental benefit amount is calculated based on your income for which your employer has paid social tax (salary, bonuses, etc.)

When calculating the amount of parental benefit nosotros will always first decrease the 9 months preceding the month of nascency of the child and we will calculate the amount of do good on the basis of income earned over the course of 12 months preceding those 9 months.

Even if parental benefit is practical past the father of the child we volition calculate his benefit on the basis of the same period.

Please employ the calculator (in estonian, informative).

The parental benefit amount is calculated separately for each recipient, depending on their previous income. The amount depends on the amount of paid social tax, declared for the earned income.

• The parental do good is as well paid if you did not earn whatsoever income taxable with the social tax. In this instance, the benefit is paid in the corporeality of the minimum wage that applied on January 1st of the previous calendar year 584 euros in 2021.

If the mother was entitled to a maternity get out just  did non take information technology for some reason, we shall pay you a parental benefit for the first 70 days in the extent of the minimum monthly bacon (in 2021 584 euros per month).

Parental benefit calculation

Your income shall likewise include the incapacity for work benefit that the Health Insurance Fund paid if you were transferred to an easier task also if you have been paid by the Estonian Unemployment Insurance Fund benefit upon insolvency of employer for a period which serves as the basis for the calculation of your parental benefit.

For computing the parental do good amount, the entire yearly income shall be added upward (gross salary, before tax deduction) and and so divided by the number of months. To get the number of months, we shall discount the number of days you were on sick leave, care get out, maternity leave, or adoption get out from 365 days, and carve up the result by thirty. If you were transferred to an easier job, then these days will non be subtracted. If yous did not have whatever instances of incapacity for work, your yearly total income shall be divided by 12 months.

Parental Benefit Amount Calculation if You Worked Abroad

If you worked abroad, it is important whether you worked in some European Economic Expanse land, or Switzerland, or somewhere else. If you lot worked in some European Economic Area country, or Switzerland, nosotros shall treat the fourth dimension spent working there as if you worked in Estonia. Time working somewhere else in the world will non be taken into parental benefit calculations.

We calculate the parental benefit amount only based on income earned in Republic of estonia, but with the assumption every bit if y'all had received the same income during the months you worked abroad. For example, if you worked six months in Republic of estonia and 6 months in Europe, our parental benefit calculations volition exist based on your monthly income in Republic of estonia and we shall presume that you lot had earned the same income besides during the 6 months that you really worked in Europe.

If you lot did not receive any income in Estonia, you volition be paid the minimum parental do good.

• Example 1. Your child is born in septembre 2019. You worked abroad for several years and do not accept on a chore in Republic of estonia before the birth. Every bit you lot accept non earned any income in Estonia, yous will receive a parental income in the extent of the 2022 minimum bacon (540 euros).
• Instance 2. In 2017, you worked vi months in Estonia and 4 months in Finland. The right for the parental benefit arises in 2018. The boilerplate monthly salary is calculated based on the income earned in Estonia, permit'due south assume this is 900 euros. The same monthly income (900 euros) shall be calculated for the time y'all were working in Finland. For calculating the parental benefit corporeality, 10 worked months shall be multiplied by the boilerplate income, and divided by the number of calendar months: 10 x 900 / 12 = 750 euros.

Parental benefit calculation if some other child is born

The Family Benefits Deed favours the sequential births of children. If the historic period departure between two children are nether three years, and the parent did not receive any income during the year preceding the nascency of the adjacent kid, or if this was smaller than the income that was used to summate the parental benefit for the older child, we shall calculate the benefit for the newborn based on the aforementioned amounts that were used for computing the do good to the older child.

We shall employ the bigger amount – if you have received greater income before the new kid is built-in, nosotros volition calculate the do good for the new child based on the bigger amount.

• Example 1. The first child was built-in 17 March 2018, and the parental benefit will exist calculated based on 2022 income. Your income in 2022 totalled 14,178.79 euros. For 74 days, y'all were on ill exit, which makes the number of months (365 – 74): thirty = 9.vii. The parental benefit totals 14,178.79 : 9.7 = ane,461.73 euros.
  The 2d kid was built-in on 26 Apr 2019. You did not have any income before that, and your children's age departure is less than two and a half years. Therefore, the parental benefit will exist calculated based on that used for computing the first parental income, and you will too get ane,461.73 euros for the second child per month.

If the mother gives nativity to a child successively and has not earned new income that is bailiwick to social tax in the meantime, so that the amount of parental benefit is adamant for her on the ground of the erstwhile accounting menstruum, the maximum rates changed in the meantime are taken into account. In other words, if the female parent received the maximum benefit for the previous child and the maximum rate has increased by the fourth dimension the new child is born, there is a possibility that the new parental do good will increase (up to the new maximum rate) depending on the income of the base period.

Compensation for the parental do good and maternity benefit gap

Should your second child be born earlier the first one is 3 years old, and the Health Insurance Fund has paid maternity do good to you for the start child, yous might besides be entitled to the compensation for the parental benefit and maternity do good gap.

You do not have to use for it separately – we shall summate it for you lot, should your allowances total comply with bounty rules. The parental benefit and maternity benefit gap shall be paid out together with the showtime parental do good payment after your child has born.

The compensation for the parental benefit and maternity benefit gap is paid if the amount for 1 maternity benefit day is less than the corporeality for one parental benefit day. The compensation is paid to you for the number of days between the childbirth until the beginning of the parental benefit payments.

It is important to note an exception – should the children be born with a small age difference, and the parental benefit is all the same existence paid when the second kid is born. Y'all will non be paid the bounty for the parental benefit and maternity benefit gap during the catamenia you are paid parental benefit.

When computing the parental benefit and maternity benefit gap, we divide ane calendar month'southward parental benefit by 30 – giving usa i parental benefit solar day corporeality. From this corporeality, we decrease the maternity benefit corporeality paid for one solar day. The upshot is multiplied by the number of calendar days from the childbirth mean solar day until the maternity do good payment end date.

• Example. You lot are on the parental exit with your showtime kid when the new kid is born. Before the second child is born, y'all stop the parental leave and use the maternity leave and receive the motherhood benefit from the Wellness Insurance Fund – 14.33 euros per day (based on the minimum salary as you did not piece of work during the previous twelvemonth). As the historic period difference of your children is less than two and a half years, the parental benefit for the new child shall also be calculated based on the income that was also the basis for calculating the parental do good for the previous kid. The calculated parental do good amount is i,168.56 euros, or 38.95 euros per day. The interval betwixt the child's birthday and parental benefit payment is 91 days. The gap parental do good and maternity do good gap is calculated (38.95 – 14.33) ten 91 = 2,240.42 euros.
