Worked Example

Let's say you earned $1,200 per week and worked 30 weeks in the 52 weeks before your baby's birth.

Calculate 85% of 30 weeks: 30 × 0.85 = 25.5 weeks
Since 25.5 weeks is less than 17 weeks, your payable days are 25.5 weeks.
Calculate your benefits: 25.5 weeks × $1,200 = $30,600

Your estimated maternity leave benefits would be $30,600 for 2015.
