Parentsi +

Are you pregnant or planning a baby and wondering:

How much parental allowance will we receive approximately?

When do I need to apply for what, and with whom?

How do maternity leave, parental leave, and child benefit fit together?

Parensi+ helps you better understand these questions in relation to your specific situation. The app brings together information, simple calculators, and practical templates related to parental allowance, parental leave, maternity leave, and child benefit – so you can spend less time worrying about formalities and more time focusing on your baby.

Instead of searching through numerous websites and PDFs, Parentsi+ provides a concise overview: You can explore initial scenarios, keep track of important deadlines, and quickly find the official online portals for your applications. While the app doesn't replace individual consultation, it helps you be well-prepared for meetings with your employer, the parental allowance office, or the family benefits office.
