Plan your finances with confidence before, during, and after maternity leave.
👉 Figure out how long you’ll be on leave and what income (if any) you’ll receive.
Table: Leave Planning
| Item | Amount | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Monthly expenses | €_____ | Rent, food, bills |
| Employer pay during leave | €_____ | % of salary or flat allowance |
| State benefits | €_____ | Check eligibility |
| Gap per month | €_____ | Expenses – income |
👉 Multiply your monthly gap by the number of months you’ll be on leave.
Example:
If your gap = €1,000/month and leave = 6 months → you’ll need €6,000 saved.
