How the medical leave indemnity is calculated in 2026
The base is the average gross income over the last 6 months, divided by the working days in the month to get the daily base. A rate applies by duration: 55% up to 7 days, 65% for 8–14 days, 75% for 15 days and over.
The unpaid first day and the employer/FNUASS split
For certificates issued between February 2026 and December 2027, the first day of the episode is not paid (with exceptions, e.g. maternity). Days 2–6 are borne by the employer, and from day 7 the indemnity is settled from FNUASS.
The withholdings
The gross indemnity is subject to CAS 25%, CASS 10% (with exceptions per code — e.g. child care is exempt) and 10% income tax. The result is an estimate; exact figures depend on the certificate code and the actual working days.
