Example
For one child born on 1 November 2026, the standard NAV period when both parents qualify is 49 weeks at 100% or 61 weeks and 1 day at 80%. The 80% choice generally spreads payments over longer time; NAV says the total payment is approximately equal.
How the planner works
First compare the official period table for the selected event date, event type, number of children and coverage. Then add your own dated leave periods. Weekdays consume benefit days; partial withdrawal reduces the days used per weekday and extends the calendar. Gaps can represent work or vacation without benefit withdrawal.
Common questions
Does changing the page language change the rules?
No. The interface can be read in different languages, but this planner always applies the stated Norwegian NAV period table.
Does this tell me whether NAV will approve my claim?
No. Eligibility and payment are decided by NAV from your individual records. This planner only compares the standard period table and dates you enter.
Can both parents take benefits at the same time?
Some arrangements can overlap, but the standard planner limits combined withdrawal to 100%. Special multiple-birth and other exceptions must be checked with NAV.
Scope and limits
Norway only. This is a planning aid, not an eligibility decision, benefit-payment calculation, employer leave-rights determination or NAV application. The standard table assumes both parents have earned a right. Activity rules, one-parent cases, early birth, illness, simultaneous leave exceptions, cross-border coordination and individualized income calculations can change the result; check NAV for those cases.
