Step 1
Maternity allowance, the so-called vacation pay before and after childbirth, is commonly called maternity allowance. These payments are provided for by Russian legislation, or, to be more precise, by federal law No. 255-FZ. In particular, the law says about the payment of sick leave for the last weeks of pregnancy, childbirth and the postpartum period.
Step 2
The following categories of women have the right to receive maternity leave: working pregnant women subject to compulsory health insurance, female students of educational institutions studying full-time (regardless of the form of study - paid or free), pregnant women - individual entrepreneurs who have worked at least for the last six months, the deduction of contributions to the social insurance fund, and pregnant women who are in the center of employment of the population at the place of residence.
Step 3
The calculation of the days included in the sick leave is made up of several circumstances: from the number of children (with multiple pregnancies there are more days), from the course of pregnancy. So, if a woman is expecting one child, 70 days before the expected birth and 70 days after them will be included in the sick leave. In this case, the sick leave will include 140 days. In case of multiple pregnancies, the sick leave will include 84 days before the date of the expected birth and 110 days after birth. Total 194 days. In the event of complications - premature birth or surgery, the first sick leave in the medical institution will be issued with another one, according to which the period of maternity leave will increase by another 16 paid days.
Step 4
The amount of maternity benefits depends on the amount of the woman's average earnings over the past two years (When calculating the average earnings, it does not include the payment of sick leave that the woman had during this time). For pregnant full-time students, maternity is calculated based on the amount of their scholarship, for women serving in the ranks of the armed forces, at customs, in institutions of the penal system, on the basis of their monetary allowance.
Step 5
At the same time, Russian legislation provides for the minimum and maximum size of maternity benefits. In 2017, the maximum amount is 248,164 rubles. with sick leave in 140 days, 276,526 rubles. with sick leave in 156 days and 343 884 rubles. with sick leave at 194 days; the minimum amount that an employed woman can receive on the occasion of the birth of a child is 33,000 rubles.
Step 6
From January 1, 2011, maternity leave is calculated differently than in previous years. By the decision of the President of the Russian Federation during 2011, there are two ways to calculate maternity leave and choose the most profitable one.
Step 7
It is possible to calculate maternity payments according to the "old" method as follows:
You need to take the earnings for the last twelve months and divide by the number of days in this period. It turns out the average daily income.
Step 8
The amount received must be multiplied by the number of days in the maternity month, the total number of days must be 140. It should be noted that the amount of payments per month should not exceed 25390 rubles. If the term of work at this enterprise is less than twelve months, then the average earnings for the worked period are taken.
Step 9
When calculating, you need to pay attention to the fact that sick leave and vacation pay are not included in the calculation, but premiums will need to be taken into account. No income tax is levied on such payments.
Step 10
If the employee's experience is less than six months, and he has not worked anywhere before, then vacation pay will be calculated based on the minimum wage, provided that the average daily earnings are greater than the minimum wage / 30 days.
Step 11
You can also calculate maternity leave in a "new" way.
The basis for the calculation is the earnings for the last two years, and this amount does not include the funds paid to the social insurance fund. To calculate the average daily earnings, you need to divide by 730 days.
Step 12
The amount of maternity "vacation pay" should not exceed 266,384 rubles, and if the employee did not have work experience before or the earnings were below the minimum wage, then the allowance will be 19,930 rubles. Work experience in such cases must be more than six months.
Step 13
The accounting department of the organization in which the woman, who is going on maternity leave, works, must provide the calculation "in a new" and "old way", and the woman, at her discretion, chooses a more profitable option and writes a statement of a certain form.
Step 14
A woman can independently calculate her maternity benefits online using an electronic calculator. You can find it on the Internet by asking the corresponding request in the search engine of your browser.
Step 15
For example, the Kontur Accounting website located at https://www.b-kontur.ru/enquiry/347#_ has such a calculator. To calculate maternity on it, on the "Initial data" tab, select the desired benefit. Indicate the length of the maternity leave. Next, you will be presented with the estimated years. If there are exclusion periods during these years, please indicate them in the appropriate field. Click "Next". Then, on a new page, fill out the pivot table with salary by month. If the district coefficient is applied, it was part-time and less than six months of insurance experience. These data are required to calculate the average daily earnings. Then press the "Next" button again, after which a table with the calculation of maternity benefits will open in front of you.
Step 16
On the site “Firstborn. ru "(https://www.pervenez.ru/decret_calc_2017.php) the calculation of maternity is based on the average earnings for two calendar years preceding the year of the decree. In order to use the calculator presented on the website, indicate the first day of sick leave. Then enter the salary by month in the appropriate fields. If during a certain period you did not receive a salary, leave the field blank. If the average daily earnings are less than 246.58 rubles (or equal to 0), the calculation will be made based on the set amount equal to 246.58 rubles. In this case, maternity leave will cost"
