Since the 2022 parental leave reform, each parent gets roughly 160 days of paid parental leave, totalling about 320 days (around 14 months). The leave is personal and cannot be fully transferred to the other parent - only 63 days can be shared. Single parents get both quotas. Payment is based on your salary, typically 70-90% of income, through Kela. You can take leave flexibly - part-time, in periods, or all at once.
