Frequently asked questions
Is the calculator free?
Yes, completely, and anonymously. You can run your estimate as many times as you want, free of charge and without creating an account.
Is my data saved or sent to a server?
Your data stays with you. The calculation runs directly in your browser, on your device, and nothing is sent to or stored on an external server. You can close the page and start a new estimate at any time, in complete privacy.
Is the estimate official?
It's an indicative estimate, designed to help you prepare financially before you apply. The final amount is always confirmed by the official body — the Conseil de gestion de l'assurance parentale for QPIP, or Service Canada for federal EI.
