Amounts come from the same calculator as elterngeldhelp.com. An amount is only shown once every input that changes it is known, otherwise the assistant asks the open questions first. All figures are estimates. The Elterngeldstelle sets the final amount after the application.
Details are in section 5 of our privacy policy.
