Frequently Asked Questions
It combines your 12-week federal FMLA job-protection entitlement with your state's Paid Family Leave benefit (if your state has one) to show which weeks of your leave are paid, which are unpaid, and your total estimated income during the full FMLA period.
Most state PFL programs provide fewer paid weeks than the full 12-week FMLA entitlement. FMLA still protects your job for the full period, but PFL only replaces your income for its own, shorter, paid-weeks limit — the remaining FMLA weeks are job-protected but unpaid unless you use employer PTO.
Where relevant, yes — for your own serious health condition in a state with a mandatory disability insurance program, the tool notes whether that program uses the same formula as the state's Paid Family Leave program or a separate one. It does not fabricate a dollar estimate for programs with separate, unverified formulas.
No. This is a simplified planning estimate based on published state formulas. Your actual benefit depends on your exact wage history, your employer's specific leave and PTO policies, and your state agency's determination — always confirm with your state's official calculator and your employer before making financial decisions.
