Maternity Leave Planner

It checks your federal FMLA eligibility and your state's family leave law eligibility, adds any Paid Family Leave weeks your state offers, and suggests a leave start date two weeks before your due date, then calculates a return-to-work date from your total available leave.

Two weeks before the due date is a common planning buffer many parents use, since actual delivery dates vary. You can adjust your own start date earlier or later based on your health, your doctor's guidance, and your employer's policy.

Not directly — short-term disability (STD) for childbirth recovery is a separate, often employer- or state-specific benefit not modeled here. If your employer or state offers STD, it can extend your total paid time beyond what this planner shows.
