Maternity Pay Calculator

Our self-service Maternity Pay Calculator is designed to empower NHS employees to streamline their maternity pay planning so they can make informed choices based on their personal situation.

Available free of charge to paid staff of all NHS SBS payroll clients, the calculator puts the ability to model and choose maternity pay options directly in the hands of the employee, delivering benefits to them and others:

  • For NHS employees, the calculator provides clarity, flexibility, and reassurance during one of life’s most important transitions.
  • For NHS HR and payroll teams, the tool reduces admin time and reduces payroll-related queries through enabling employees to do their own modelling.
  • For NHS employers, the calculator delivers an improved employee experience and supports compliance by equipping staff with transparent, self-managed insights.

Unlimited modelling

The calculator enables employees to model their maternity pay accurately across multiple scenarios as many times as they want – in an instant – removing this repetitive and time-consuming task from Payroll teams.

Informed decision-making

With just a few inputs, such as due date and recent payslip figures, employees can generate a detailed, personalised breakdown of their maternity pay entitlements, enabling them to test scenarios and choose the optimum leave and financial planning options for them.

Easy to access and use

Accessible 24/7 via any internet-connected device so staff can access crucial information at work and at home, the calculator is user-friendly, with helpful, clear guidance at every step.

Meeting compliance needs

Once an employee has chosen the best option for them, they simply export and save the calculations to enable easy sharing, record-keeping and adherence to compliance requirements.

Ongoing enhancements

Employees can also submit feedback to shape ongoing development of the tool, helping pregnant women of the future make the right choice for their own situation.
