Paid family leave calculator, every state

Every state at $75,000 a year (birth parent, all paid weeks)

New York pays its recovery weeks as disability benefits (50% up to $170 a week), so its total is lower than its weekly rate suggests. Massachusetts and Washington use their 2027 maximums (benefit years starting in 2027).

Both parents, top-ups and a savings target

The Parental Leave Planner ($19 spreadsheet) runs these rules for both parents week by week, from the state each one works in, adds employer paid leave or short-term disability, and gives you the household income gap month by month and how much to save each month before the baby arrives. The FMLA and paid leave guide explains how to stack the programs, and the true cost of a baby puts the lost pay next to the other costs.

Deciding how to share the bills while one of you is on leave? The bill split calculator compares 50/50, a split by income, and a split that leaves you both the same money. When childcare starts, the FSA vs child care credit calculator shows whether the $7,500 FSA or the 2026 credit saves you more.
