£123.06 or 90 per cent of your average weekly earnings if this is less.

maximum is £123.06p per week regardless of what the 90% works out too. It's all on direct gov web site http://www.direct.gov.uk/en/MoneyTaxAndBenefits/BenefitsTaxCreditsAndOtherSupport/Expectingorbringingupchildren/DG_10018750

Oh dear :-S

I've often heard new dads claim that paternity pay "isn't worth it". Now I know why - had no idea it was capped at £123.

That's all you get for maternity after the first 6 weeks isn't it??

Most guys I know just save up their holiday when they know their OH is expecting.

Yes that's the maternity rate also.

Not sure how much it is but you normally get 2 weeks off and only after the due date or when the baby is born ,not before, hope this helps
