Statutory Shared Parental Pay - How much does Statutory Shared Parental Pay (SSPP) give me?

Statutory Shared Parental Pay (SSPP) is paid at the rate of £184.03 a week or 90% of your average weekly earnings, whichever is lower.

This is the same as Statutory Maternity Pay (SMP) except that during the first 6 weeks SMP is paid at 90% of whatever you earn (with no maximum).

SPL and SSPP must be taken between the baby’s birth and first birthday (or within one year of adoption). 

You can use the government’s Shared Parental Leave and Pay planning tool to find out when you can start taking leave.
