Government Paid Leave - Self Employed Mothers

Hi!

I was using the online calculator by CPF to calculate how much income i can claim from the government.
http://www.cpf.gov.sg/cpf_info/Calculator/GML/gml_cal.asp

As self employed, i know we can only get 8 weeks for the 1st - 2nd confinement and thereafter 3rd - 4th confinement to claim 16 weeks.

As i was playing the calculator, after keying 8 weeks (example 1-Aug-12 >> 26-Sep-12) of ML in the calculator and with say example of $2500 monthly avg income. I should say expect the calculator to get $5000. But to my surprise the amount is only $82???

Can any self employed mommies who had done a claim before share here ? Thanks!
 
Hello, when you are using the calculator or doing the actual claim, you should put in 16 weeks of maternity leave (112days) and not just 8 weeks. Btw the calculation is based on:

=your chargeable income /365 x 56 days (112/2)(8 weeks)
