ℹ Twee aparte dingen: uitkering EN ontslagbescherming
This calculator estimates the CASH BENEFIT (Elterngeld, IJSS, baja, KBG etc.). Your country also gives you JOB PROTECTION (Mutterschutzgesetz DE; protection congé maternité FR; suspension contrato ES; tutela maternità IT) — typically you cannot be dismissed during pregnancy and for a period after the leave ends. The two are independent: you can receive the cash benefit even after losing your job, and you have job protection even if you don't qualify for the cash benefit.
⚠ Dit is een schatting
Je werkelijke uitkering hangt af van de exacte referentieperiode, fiscale situatie, gezinssituatie en CAO-aanvullingen. Gebruik voor budgettering; krijg het bindende bedrag van UWV VOORDAT je het verlofplan vastlegt.
Fase-uitsplitsing
- Mutterschutz (6 + 8/12 weeks)14 weeks€2,600 / month
- Basiselterngeld (12 / 14 months)47 weeks€1,690 / month
Hoe het systeem van dit land werkt
- Mutterschutz: 6 weeks before + 8 weeks after birth (12 after for premature/multiple/disabled). Mutterschaftsgeld pays 100% of net (gross capped at €13/day from Krankenkasse + employer top-up).
- Basiselterngeld: 12 months for one parent, 14 if both take at least 2 'Partnermonate'. Pays 65-67% of pre-birth net (sliding scale by income).
- Geschwisterbonus: +10% of Elterngeld (min €75) if older sibling under 3 (or 2 siblings under 6).
- Mehrlingszuschlag: +€300/month per additional child for twins/triplets etc.
- Income cap: from April 2024, parents with joint annual income above €175,000 receive NO Elterngeld at all.
Belangrijke notities
- Effective Elterngeld rate: 65.0% of pre-birth net (65%).
- ElterngeldPlus alternative: half the monthly amount × double the duration. Suitable if returning to part-time work.
⚠ Lees voor je handelt
- Apply at your Elterngeldstelle within 3 months of birth — claims can only be backdated by 3 months.
- If you return to work part-time during Elterngeld, your benefit is reduced by the difference between pre-birth and post-birth net income × Elterngeld rate.

Hoe ouderschapsuitkeringen verschillen in Europa
Europe has no single 'parental leave' system — each country has its own formula, duration, and partner-sharing rules. Germany pays Elterngeld (65-67% net for 12-14 months, capped €1,800, with a €175k joint-income disqualification since 2024). France pays IJSS (100% of salary capped at PSS) for 16-46 weeks plus an optional flat-rate PreParE. Spain pays a 16-week permiso at 100% of base reguladora — equal for both parents since 2021. Italy maternità is 80% × 5 months + congedo parentale (30-80%) shared. Austria splits Wochengeld (100%) and Kinderbetreuungsgeld (income-related 80% capped €2,000 OR pauschal €476-€1,650). Netherlands zwangerschapsverlof is 100% × 16 weeks plus 9 weeks of paid ouderschapsverlof at 70%. Belgium 82% first 30 days then 75%, capped. Poland macierzyński 100% × 20 weeks then rodzicielski 70% × 41 weeks.
We model 8 EU jurisdictions with each one's specific formula and surface the official source so you can verify. Three things to remember: (1) the cash benefit and the job protection are separate — both apply, but they're regulated by different laws. (2) Many CCNL/CAO/Tarifvertrag agreements top up the public benefit to 100% of net salary — check yours. (3) Income caps, sliding scales, sibling premiums and multiple-birth bonuses can shift the result substantially.
Use this for an honest first read. Then talk to your country's parental-benefit agency BEFORE you commit to a leave plan — every case turns on facts the calculator cannot see.
