Issue with SMP calculator 26 June 2017
We have received reports from members that the SMP calculator on GOV.UK is not calculating correctly.
We have reported the issues to HMRC as a matter of importance.
It would appear that one of the issues is that the calculation is being completed by taking the total earnings and dividing them by 8 rather than applying the normal calculation of total earnings divided by 2, times 12 and divided by 52.
We will of course keep you updated on this issue.

SMP calculator on monthly payments 7 July 2017
GOV.UK has implemented a fix to the Statutory Maternity Payments (SMP) calculator; this can now be used for normal monthly calculations.
We previously reported an issue with the SMP calculator as we had received reports from members that it was not calculating correctly.
We reported the issue to HMRC and they have now informed us that the calculator can now be used for normal monthly calculations.
However HMRC is still working with GOV.UK to find a way for the calculators to deal with mistimed payments, so in the interim these will have to be completed by your own payroll or by manual calculation.
CIPP comment Please let the Policy team know if you experience any further issues with the SMP calculator; email us at policy .
