Alles over Statutory Sick Pay (SSP) Calculator
📋Overzicht+
Computes SSP for 2025/26: £118.75 a week divided by your qualifying days per week, payable from the 4th qualifying day of sickness (the first 3 are unpaid waiting days, skipped for linked periods within 8 weeks), for up to 28 weeks per period.
💡 Best practices
- You must be sick for at least 4 consecutive days (including non-working days) to start a claim.
- SSP is taxable earnings — tax and NIC are deducted via payroll.
- If earnings are below £125/week, ask about Employment and Support Allowance (ESA) instead.
🔢 Concreet voorbeeld
£600/week earnings, 10 qualifying days off, 5-day week: 3 waiting days, then 7 payable days at £23.75 — £166.25 SSP, with 26.6 of the 28 weeks still available.

- Linked period
- Two sickness absences of 4+ days separated by 8 weeks or less count as one period: no new waiting days, and the 28-week maximum is shared.
