2026/27 Statutory Paternity Pay rate

The statutory weekly rate is £194.32 or 90% of average weekly earnings, whichever is lower. The published 2026/27 earnings threshold is £129 per week.

Amount versus entitlement

This calculator focuses on the amount payable for one or two paid weeks. It does not determine every employment, notice, relationship or leave-timing condition needed for entitlement.

Worked example

With average weekly earnings of £700, 90% is £630. Because £194.32 is lower, the estimated statutory rate is £194.32 for each eligible paid week.
