Overview

The Maternity Pay Calculator estimates maternity leave benefits under Korea's Labor Standards Act and Employment Insurance Act. Maternity leave is 90 days (120 for multiple births). For priority-support companies, all 90 days are covered by employment insurance (capped at KRW 2.1M/month). For large companies, the first 60 days are employer-paid and the remaining 30 days are insured.
