Payments and Benefits
Take the guesswork out of your paid leave benefits.
Figure out what you’ll pay for Paid Family and Medical Leave Insurance (PFMLI) and how much you can expect to receive in weekly benefits while on leave. The cost and benefits available to the employees’ under the PFMLI plan, match the cost and benefits required by the state of Oregon.
What You’ll Pay
Contributions are 1% of your gross wages up to the Social Security wage base, which is $176,100 for 2025. Your employer will pay at least 40% of your monthly premium. Any remaining portion not covered by your employer will be deducted from your paycheck.
Benefit Amount
Benefits will depend on your earnings compared to Oregon’s Average Weekly Wage.
Here is an example based on premium costs.
| Weekly Benefits | Weekly Earnings | Annual Earnings | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Employee A | $500.00 | $500.00 | $26,000.00 |
| Employee B | $924.83 | $1,000.00 | $52,000.00 |
| Employee C | $1,568.60 | $2,403.85 | $125,000.00 |
The figures in the chart above are subject to change. Oregon's Average Weekly Wage and the Maximum Weekly Benefit Amount may be updated annually by the Oregon Employment Department. The 2024-2025 Oregon Average Weekly Wage is $1,307.17. The current Minimum Weekly Benefit is $65.36, and the Maximum Weekly Benefit is $1,568.60.
