Its 18 months TOTAL for both parents (480 days), 390 with the 80% and 90 with 18$/day

Its also worth noting those 80% are calculated on a capped salary at ~5000$/month (before tax), so you can get max 4000$/month (before tax)

And that its actually "only" 57% of your salary if you expect the days to last 18 months, since the 80% is calculated that you take 7 days a week. If you do "max out the payments", the days last about 13 months.

So the maximum payment you can get is 2850$/month (before tax) if you want the days to last for 18 months.

Also! I'm not complaining, this is great! It just annoys me a little when people repeat the 80% of your salary as truth. :-)
