Work out an estimate of your Norwegian sick pay — daily rate and monthly payout at 100 % sick leave — based on your annual income.
Norway's National Insurance scheme covers 100 % of your income up to 6 times the base amount (6G, "grunnbeløpet"). Income above this cap doesn't give higher sick pay. For the first 16 calendar days of a sick leave (the employer period), your employer normally pays full salary, after which NAV (Norway's welfare agency) takes over payment from day 17.
Fetching the current base amount from NAV …
The base amount ("grunnbeløpet") is a figure Norway's National Insurance scheme uses as a starting point to calculate a range of benefits, including sick pay, unemployment benefit and pensions. It's set by NAV and normally adjusted once a year.
During the employer period, which lasts the first 16 calendar days of the sick leave, the employer normally pays full salary. From day 17 onward, NAV takes over paying sick pay.
Yes. With a graded sick leave, for example 50 %, you get sick pay corresponding to the sick-listed share of your position. This calculator shows the amount at 100 % sick leave — scale it down proportionally for partial sick leave.
