Estimate how much Statutory Paternity Pay (SPP) you could receive based on your average weekly earnings and whether you take 1 or 2 weeks of leave. This calculator uses the common UK structure for 2026/27: the lower of £194.32 or 90% of average weekly earnings for each week of statutory paternity leave.
This is a planning estimate for employees using the standard UK SPP formula. Actual payroll can differ if your employer offers enhanced paternity pay, eligibility rules are not met, or your average weekly earnings are calculated differently in payroll.
