Maternity allowance is calculated according to which base

The general standard of maternity allowance: the average monthly paid salary of the 12 months before the birth of a female worker / 30 days × the number of days of maternity leave. Here is a special reminder: it is the base of your social security contributions, not necessarily your basic salary.

The base for social security contributions is generally your salary income from the previous year.

(1) If an employee's salary income is higher than 300% of the average salary of local employees in the previous year, 300% of the average salary of local employees in the previous year will be the contribution base;?

(2) If the salary income of an employee is lower than 60% of the average salary of local employees in the previous year, 60% of the average salary of local employees in the previous year shall be the contribution base;?

(3) If the employee's salary is between 300% and 60%, it is declared according to the actual situation. When the employee's salary income cannot be determined, his contribution base is determined by the average salary of local employees in the previous year announced by the local labor administration department as the contribution salary.

Standard and time of maternity allowance payment:

There is no deadline for receiving maternity insurance allowance. Maternity insurance reimbursement involves the person's ID card, marriage certificate, Family Planning Service Handbook or Maternity Certificate, medical certificate of newborn's birth, and discharge statement, etc., which are usually paid in the following month after the submission and review of the documents are approved.
