Weekly paid leave benefits compared to typical weekly wages by state

Usual Weekly Wage shown on x-axis, corresponding Weekly PFML Benefit shown on y-axis.
Replacement wages are calculated using each state's rate formula using the minimum wage and the most updated State Average Weekly Wage data applicable to January 2026. 

Benefits are approximate because calculations in most states are based on a quarterly earning look-back period rather than on current or most recent earnings. For simplicity, this chart shows benefit levels based on hypothetical typical weekly earnings.
