How much you receive also depends on:
- your total family income before tax
- the number of dependent children in your care and how old they are
- the number of newborn children per year
You can either receive PTC or paid parental leave. You can't receive both at the same time. And you can't receive PTC if your family income for the full eight to ten weeks includes an income-tested benefit, NZ Super, a veteran's pension, a student allowance, or accident compensation from ACC (unless you are receiving this for less than three months).
