Ordinary Statutory Paternity Pay (for adoption) Calculator

The Ordinary Statutory Paternity Pay (OSPP) calculators will help you to work out if you have to pay OSPP to your employee and if so how much OSPP you have to pay them. They will also help you to work out how much OSPP you can recover

OSPP is available to any employee (male or female) who is:

  • a partner, civil partner or husband of someone who is adopting a child on their own or
  • adopting a child jointly with their partner

Note: OSPP is only payable if the adopter has been matched with a child for adoption by an adoption agency or, for adoption from abroad, the foreign adoption agency has been issued with a certificate of eligibility by a UK authority. Private adoptions are not covered by OSPP.

Online calculator

The online OSPP calculator available on the Gov.UK website works out how much OSPP you'll have to pay. It's easy to use and does everything for you.

If you experience problems printing result pages on the calculator try setting the page orientation from portrait to landscape.

Should any faults come to your attention please use the appropriate feedback link to notify Gov.UK.
