Moms-to-be can determine the size maternity payments independently, which will make sure that the employer's charges are fair. When calculating, it is worth adhering to the rules established by federal regulations that are relevant in 2019.

Maximum size

The amount of annual profit, which should be taken into account when calculating the average wages, has restrictions established by law.

The maximum amount of the allowance was approved by the law of December 29, 2006. Please note that the maximum amount differs from year to year.

In 2019, the limits are - 624,000 rubles... That is, if the employee received 700 00 0, then only the specified limit will be taken into account when determining the amount of maternity leave. In 2013, the limit values ​​for calculations - 568 000 .

The maximum that an employee who took maternity leave in 2019 can receive is 228,602.74: In the event that a woman is in maternity leave longer than it is usually established, then the amount of payments will be increased proportionally.

If, when determining the amount to be paid in favor of the employee, the income of an earlier period (2013, 2012, etc.) is taken into account, then the maximum benefits are set less:

In 2019, the maximum amount of income taken into account is 670 000 ... But such indicators will be taken into account by those employees of companies that go on maternity leave in 2019 and later.

Maternity allowance cannot exceed the limits 36 563 rubles per month, 1479.45 rubles- in a day. The payment limit for 140 days in 2019 should not be more 228 603 rubles(data are taken into account for 2019 - 2013).

How to calculate maternity by the formula

In accordance with current rules, when calculating benefits, they take the last two years when a woman worked. At the same time, it does not matter when the employee goes on maternity leave - at the beginning or at the end of 2019.

After determining the years for which it is worth calculating benefits, the period when the woman is subtracted from the total number of days:

• took a vacation;
• was on sick leave (also for pregnancy and childbirth);
• went on a business trip;
• stayed at home with the aim of caring for children who are sick, disabled loved ones;
• did not receive a salary (partly including) for a certain time.

That is, they exclude those days when there were no deductions from the profits received to extra-budgetary funds for compulsory types of insurance, because it is from such funds that they form the basis for calculating benefits under the decree.

In accordance with the normative act of December 29, 2012, additional days (there are 4 of them) that are allocated for caring for children with disabilities from the billing period will not be excluded from the billing period.

The same applies to the days that were taken at their own expense. Previously, it was possible to change the billing period. Now there is no such right.

For those women who leave from one decree to another, this is not profitable, since the benefit in the absence of earnings will be minimal.

If a woman has not taken sick leave and leaves in the last 2 years, then it is considered that she worked 730 days (if leap year – 731).

It is necessary to determine the average salary, in accordance with the amount of which the benefits will be paid for each day.

When calculating, it is worth summing up all indicators of income that are subject to taxation by insurance premiums and other fees.

That is, they will take into account:

• earnings;
• bonuses that were issued every month, quarter, year;
• regional coefficient;
• bonus for length of service, employee title, development;
• one-time payment of an incentive and motivational plan (bonus for company anniversaries, etc.);
• material types of assistance (no more 4 thousand rubles).

The resulting number should be divided by the number of days that have been worked in the billing periods. But the indicator should not be higher than the established amount of maternity leave for one day.

For each day of the decree, a woman receives an average daily wage. For example, if this figure is 789 rubles, and the duration of the vacation is 140 days, then the amount to be paid is 110 460 rubles.

Funds must be paid in one amount within 10 days from the date of submission of the required package of documents.

The number of days when an employee can be released from the performance of labor duties for pregnancy and childbirth:

1. Salary and other payments for 2019, 2013, which are summed up.
2. Amounts that do not exceed the established limit per year.
3. The number of days worked.

Use this formula:
The minimum monthly charge cannot be less than the approved minimum wage. When calculating, you can use special online calculators that are located on statistics services.

When calculating the allowance, when a woman goes from one maternity leave to another, it is worth taking 2 years before the first decree.

If an employee goes to work after the decree, and soon takes such leave again, it is possible, when determining the amount of payment, to replace the hours worked for an incomplete period in the calendar year, who precedes the first decree.

Counting example

Example # 1. The employee goes on maternity leave on 03/05/2015. Its annual profit in 2013 was 300,000 rubles, in 2019 - 400 000 ... The years were not leap years, which means that it is worth taking 730 days (365 * 2 years).

Average daily salary - 958.90 rubles:For 140 days of vacation, a woman should receive:In the event that this woman will have 2 or more children, then the calculation will look like this:Example # 2. Ivanova K.T. 09/02/2015 will go on maternity leave. She has days that should be excluded from the billing period, since from 11.03 to 24.03.2014 the employee was on sick leave and received payments for temporary disability.

Settlement period - 01/01/2013 - 12/31/2014. Subtracting the above days, you get 716 days.

If the job changed

Consider a situation where a woman worked in 2 or more companies before taking maternity leave.

In the event that the employee fulfilled her obligations under the employment contract in these places during the 2 years preceding the billing period, then each employer will pay the allowance, that is, the woman will receive funds from two places of work.

In this case, the maximum payment will apply to each company separately. But in general, a woman cannot get more than 228,602.74 rubles.

If an employee has worked in one of the firms for less than a year, then when determining the amount of average daily earnings, the period worked in fact will be taken into account.

The settlement period is from the moment when the woman signed an employment contract until the month that precedes the onset of maternity leave.

The change of job will not affect the calculation of the benefit, since the employee's profit is taken into account, with which they are paid insurance premiums in the FSS.

In the event of a case when a person becomes temporarily disabled, and at the same time he works for 2 or more policyholders, the benefit can be assigned and paid in this way:

• Payment is made for all work, based on the indicators of the average daily earnings of the company that assigns the payment.
• The amount is paid at one of the last places of work, which the insured person chooses.

What special cases can there be

Calculating maternity benefits based on average earnings - general rules. But there are a number of exceptions.

Let's figure out when the amount of the benefit will be determined according to other norms:

1. A student who is a full-time student at an educational institution will receive an allowance calculated on the basis of a scholarship.
2. An unemployed woman who lost her job in connection with the liquidation of the organization and became registered with the CPC, in 2019 can expect to receive maternity payments in the amount of 543.67 rubles per month. This value is indexed every year.

The average monthly salary when calculating the amount of benefits is equal to 1 minimum wage, provided:

• the average salary of an employee is less than the established minimum wage;
• the insurance experience of a pregnant woman is up to six months, for example, if she has worked for a month;
• the payment is made to an individual entrepreneur or another person who is engaged in private practice, if contributions for compulsory insurance are paid to extra-budgetary funds.

In such cases, for the calculation, it is worth taking the minimum wage, which is valid at the beginning of maternity leave. In 2019 it is 5 965 rubles.

If a multiplying coefficient is used in a territorial district, then the size of the minimum wage will also be increased. The formula should be used the same as when determining the payment based on real wages.

In 2019, the size of the maternity allowance (based on the minimum wage) for 140 days is 27,455.34 rubles: When calculating the allowance for the second child, it is worth considering some peculiarities. A woman has the right to choose which benefits she wants to receive - for pregnancy or childcare.

All amounts for the second child should be summed up with those payments that were made for the first child. If twins are born, the mother receives 40% for each child.

When calculating the amount of the allowance, the first-born is also taken into account. The amount of payment is determined for the 2 years preceding the care of the decree.

If the rates of employees at the enterprise were raised, but the employee did not go to work before the birth of her second child, then the calculation will be carried out on the basis of the old salary. Going to work from time to time, a woman will be able to receive benefits on a new salary.

A woman has the right to receive maternity benefits for her third baby in accordance with the 2013 - 2019 program.

How to calculate maternity for a third child? The amount of the allowance is set on the basis of regional indicators of the subsistence minimum per child. In certain regional districts of the Russian Federation, such transfers are made from the local budget.

Requirements to be met in order to receive benefits for the third child:

1. A child is born during the period when the program is in effect.
2. One of the parents must be a citizen of Russia.
3. Profit per family member is not higher than the subsistence level.
4. The person is registered at the place where he / she intends to receive benefits.
5. Payments will be stopped when the baby reaches 3 years old, and in some territorial districts - up to 6 years old.

Often questions arise from educational workers who are going to go on maternity leave.

Regardless of the fact that the school year begins in September, teachers should take into account the previous 2 calendar years when calculating.

The birth of a child is a great joy in the family, but at the same time it is also a serious responsibility. During such a period, parents especially need support, including material support. Therefore, there is nothing surprising in the fact that future mom begins to think about the amount of benefits that she will receive during maternity leave, as soon as she finds out about her excellent position.

Together with a maternity calculator, this is easy to do, however, first, let's figure out what the principle and basic rules for the appointment and calculation of benefits are.

Who gets it?

1 Maternity allowance is required to accrue to all women who were employed at the time of pregnancy, or who fell under the reduction program, as well as full-time students.

2 Also, maternity payments are due to expectant mothers who work in the internal affairs bodies or are on contract military service.

3 Mothers registered as individual entrepreneurs must necessarily be participants in such a program for individual entrepreneurs as DSS - voluntary social insurance. To receive maternity benefits, you need to make insurance premiums for at least 6 months.

What documents do I need?

Having collected the main package of documents, you need to contact the personnel department of the enterprise where the pregnant woman worked. Let's get acquainted with the components of the package required for registration in the program for receiving maternity payments:

1 Directly an application for the provision of benefits. You can easily find a sample for writing on the Internet. Your employer may also have one;

2 Sick leave from an institution where the expectant mother is registered. As a rule, it is issued at the onset of the 30th week of pregnancy;

3 If a woman was laid off, or the enterprise in which she was listed as an employee was liquidated, the social security department at the employment center is obliged to pay benefits. To do this, you need to register with this service and get the appropriate certificate.

4 Certificate of the average amount of earnings. By the way, if the employer is not able to pay the benefits on their own, the responsibility for the payment passes to the insurance service.

What should unemployed mothers do?

If the expectant mother was not officially employed or has no work experience at all, then, unfortunately, maternity payments are not provided for her. However, in this case, it is still possible to receive childcare benefits. Not the most pleasant fact is that it will be provided in the minimum amount.

What is the size of the maternity allowance?

So, it is known that the amount of the benefit is calculated on the basis of data on the amount of wages received over the past two years. Also, the size of the lump sum depends on how the pregnancy proceeded and how many babies were born. The duration of maternity leave also varies. Consider the following options:

- If the pregnancy was singleton and proceeded without complications, then 70 days before delivery and the same amount after (the minimum benefit amount is 27,455.34 rubles);

- If complications arise during the course of a singleton pregnancy, the vacation is extended to 86 days (the minimum amount is 30,593.10 rubles);

- If the pregnancy was multiple, then maternity leave is 84 days before the day of birth and 110 days after (the minimum amount is 38,045.26 rubles).

By the way, if Mom still decides to go to work before the end of maternity leave, this will not affect the payment of benefits in any way.

Maternity calculator. We calculate the individual amount of the allowance

Finally, we are savvy with a certain amount of information, thanks to which we can deal with an online calculator without much difficulty. The calculator's interface is intuitively simple, however, let's figure it out with its algorithm.

1 The first step is to choose the type of benefit you are interested in. Then select the dates you want in the calendar.

If there were exceptions in the billing years (sick leave, vacation), tick the appropriate box

2 The second stage asks us to indicate the monthly earnings for the 2 years preceding the pregnancy. The calculator itself determines the average daily earnings in accordance with the entered data.

3 And finally, the third stage: all the data are summed up and present us with the long-awaited calculation.

What maternity benefits are there? What is the order of their accrual? What categories of citizens are entitled to these payments? A woman who is going on maternity leave needs to be literate and understand these issues.

Types of maternity payments

There are several types of maternity benefits.

One-time allowance for women registered for pregnancy up to 12 weeks

This payment is intended to motivate expectant mothers to register with an obstetrician-gynecologist in a timely manner.

After all, only under the supervision of a specialist can complications during pregnancy be avoided. This monetary compensation is paid once, after the woman has provided a doctor's certificate to the employer. At the moment, the amount of this allowance is RUB 581.73.

Maternity allowance

Only a pregnant woman can get maternity leave. The amount of this allowance depends primarily on the length of the vacation. This is usually 140 days. Exceptions are multiple pregnancies, birth complications, and caesarean section. In this case, more days are paid.

Calculated on the basis of a two-year calculation. The amount should not be less than 28555.80 rubles and more than 248164 rubles for a normal pregnancy.

After the woman has provided all the documents for calculating maternity, she is obliged to accrue the entire amount within 10 days or on the next day of salary.

Allowance for caring for a child up to one and a half years

In addition to the mother of the child, this can be received by a relative who will take care of the baby. For example, or grandmother.

40% of the average earnings for two years is paid monthly.

The state provides for the maximum and minimum amount of this cash payment.

The maximum size is now 21,554.82 rubles, and the minimum is 2908.62 rubles.

The payment is provided until a tiny age of one and a half years is reached.

Mom can be on maternity leave until the baby is three years old.
