* at 90 per cent of your average gross weekly earnings with no upper limit for the first six weeks; and
* for the remaining 33 weeks at either the standard rate of £117.18 or 90 per cent of your average gross weekly earnings (if this 90 per cent rate is less than the standard rate)


How it's paid

Your employer will usually pay you Statutory Maternity Pay in the same way and at the same time as your normal wages.

Maternity Pay is treated as normal pay, so your employer will also deduct tax and National Insurance as usual.

How much you'll get if you're only working part time? Lets say about 20 hrs/ wk?
It will be great if you will get full time wages even your contract is part time
