NHS maternity pay calculation help

[Deleted User]

Hi can anyone do the maths for my maternity pay please? My payroll won't give me a pay breakdown so I have no idea what I'll be paid each month.

I work in NHS so I get 8 weeks full pay, 18 weeks half pay plus smp and then 13 weeks just smp. 
My gross income for my qualifying months were around 2500 a month. I've had a pay rise since April though and this is now 2613 if that makes a difference to the calculations (which I think it does?)

My maternity starts 19th July and I get paid on 21st July. 
I can vaguely work out what is get over the 12 months (11500 after tax?) but I don't know how this will be spread out each month and what my July pay would be as I'm going off 3 days before nornal pay day.
I pay 9.3 percent pension so I've worked out with ni and tax it's 27.5 percent deduction a month but don't know if I'll be taxed on maternity as earning below my tax threshold of 13k?
Any help would be much appreciated! Thanks

Are they refusing to give this breakdown now, or at all? It's possible they haven't entered the data for the relevant period yet. 

it's also likely to vary from month to month, at least once the full pay ends and the SMP starts, because our system pays either 4 or 5 weeks in the month, depending on how many Sundays there are. 

AND is your salary due on 21st July for the whole month, or just for the period 22nd June - 21st July?

Also does this help? You will have to factor in the periods of full and half pay.

Nadia do you mind me asking how this worked out for you? I am on the same at the minute and due to start maternity in a few weeks and payroll have advised they can’t work this out yet... thanks

I happened upon a lovely lady in payroll who did give me a run down. I take home 1900 a month and with it spread over 9 months I got around 1600 for the first 5 months, then 1300 and then just 800 for last month.
But I opted out of pension for that month. The online maternity calculator was pretty accurate to be fair!
