Frequently asked questions
How does this Oregon estimate work?
The current official calculator uses a state average weekly wage of $1,410.13. Benefits replace 100% of average weekly wages through 65% of that amount and 50% above it, subject to a 5% minimum and 120% maximum. Rounded to cents, the minimum is $70.51 and the maximum is $1,692.16.
Can a minimum benefit exceed my average weekly wage?
Yes. Oregon law sets a minimum of 5% of the state average weekly wage for an otherwise eligible full-week claim. The minimum is not payable simply because wages are positive: you must first meet the $1,000 covered base-year earnings requirement and the other claim conditions.
Can I use these numbers for an older benefit year?
No. These are the official calculator parameters observed on September 12, 2026. This page has not independently verified their effective start and end dates or historical rates. Select the historical option to avoid applying this snapshot to an older claim, and check your determination letter or Paid Leave Oregon.
How many weeks can I take?
Paid Leave Oregon generally provides up to 12 weeks in a benefit year. Up to 2 additional weeks may be available for qualifying pregnancy or childbirth needs. Approved dates, prior leave, intermittent days and claim-specific conditions can change payments.
