Maternity Leave Benefits Calculator in Kazakhstan in 2025

Upon the birth of a child, women in Kazakhstan are entitled to maternity benefits. These include allowances for both employed women and those who were not working prior to pregnancy. A state allowance is granted, and employed women are also eligible for a social benefit due to income loss. Additionally, a monthly allowance is provided, which mothers receive until the child reaches the age of one and a half years.

To calculate maternity benefits in Kazakhstan in 2025, you can use a convenient online service — the calculator. Alternatively, you can use a special formula that helps determine the social benefit for loss of income due to pregnancy and childbirth for working women:

(Average monthly income × Disability days coefficient) − 10% mandatory pension contributions (MPC) = Benefit amount.

For example, income over 12 months: 1,944,000 KZT

Average monthly income = 1,944,000 ÷ 12 = 162,000 KZT

The sick leave is issued for 126 days. To calculate the disability days coefficient, divide the number of days by 30. Thus, the coefficient = 4.2

162,000 × 4.2 = 680,400 KZT

680,400 − 68,040 = 612,360 KZT — one-time payment for sick leave.

If the salary is higher, the maximum income over 12 months is considered: 7,140,000 KZT

Average monthly income = 7,140,000 ÷ 12 = 595,000 KZT

595,000 × 4.2 = 2,499,000 KZT

2,499,000 − 10% (249,900) = 2,249,100 KZT

How to calculate maternity benefits in Kazakhstan in 2025 using an online calculator? To do this, you need to fill out several sections. Let’s take a closer look at them.

Woman’s Employment Status

This section includes two options: employment and registration as an individual entrepreneur (IE).

Women who were employed before going on maternity leave are eligible for three types of payments: in addition to the one-time childbirth allowance and monthly childcare benefits, they also receive a one-time payment for loss of income.

The maternity calculator also accounts for cases when a woman who gave birth in 2025 is registered as an IE in Kazakhstan. Individual entrepreneurs are also entitled to two benefits: a one-time payment for loss of income and monthly childcare payments until the child reaches 1.5 years of age.

Child’s Birth Order

This field allows you to indicate the number of children — from 1 to 6 or more. It’s one of the factors that affects the amount of the one-time state benefit. For the birth of a first, second, or third child, the benefit is 38 MCI (this equals 149,416 tenge in 2025). If a woman becomes a mother for the fourth time or more, the payment increases to 63 MCI, or 247,716 tenge.

Date of Social Risk

This refers to the date of the child’s birth. The specific date and month can be selected using the pop-up calendar.

Birth Conditions and Benefits

The benefit amount is also influenced by the nature of the birth and the woman’s living conditions. That’s why the maternity calculator includes this section.

This section includes the following items:

1. 1. Birth:
   • Normal. If the delivery took place without complications or risks, the woman receives a 126-day sick leave.
   • Complicated, or birth of two or more children. In this case, the sick leave is extended to 140 days.
2. 2. Benefits for living in areas where nuclear testing was conducted.

In case of normal delivery under such conditions, the sick leave is 170 days; for complicated births, it increases by 2 weeks — up to 184 days.

Number of Maternity Leave Days

The maternity leave calculator will automatically insert the number of days as soon as you select the relevant option in the previous section.

Detailed Income Calculation

The maternity benefit calculator for 2025 also allows you to calculate income for each month separately. This ensures the calculation is as detailed and accurate as possible.

How to Calculate Maternity Benefits in 2025 Using the Calculator: Example

Let’s assume a woman enters the following data into the calculator:

1. 1. Employment status – employed.
2. 2. Child order – first child.
3. 3. Date of social risk – 28.03.2025.
4. 4. Conditions and benefits – normal delivery, no special benefits.
5. 5. Maternity leave – 126 days.

After entering all the data, she just needs to click the “Calculate” button. As a result, the calculator displays the following:

• Lump-sum state allowance for childbirth – 149,416 KZT. Paid right after delivery.
• Monthly payments (until the child is 1.5 years old) – 33,510 KZT.

Thus, the maternity calculator in Kazakhstan helps determine that the mother will receive 33,510 KZT monthly. She can use this money at her discretion: buy clothes or food, purchase necessary furniture or appliances, or deposit it in a savings account to accumulate a significant sum for the child’s future — for education, travel, or home purchase.
