Parent Allowance deadline calculator

Enter your baby’s date of birth to see the last day you can apply and still receive payment from the month of birth, how many days you have left, and how much you may lose if you miss it.

This is a reference calculator, not a government service. The 60-day window counts the birth date as day 1 (birth + 59 days). Saturdays and Sundays move to the next Monday; public holidays are not adjusted automatically. Confirm your date with your community center (call 129) before you apply.

Frequently asked questions

What is the 2026 Parent Allowance amount?

For children under 2, home-care payments are KRW 1 million per month at age 0 (0–11 months) and KRW 500,000 per month at age 1 (12–23 months), the same as the previous year. If the child attends a daycare center, the cash portion is the difference after the childcare fee: KRW 416,000 at age 0 and no cash difference at age 1 (2026).

When do I have to apply to get payment from the month of birth?

Apply within 60 days counting the date of birth as day 1 (the 60th day is birth + 59 days). If that day is a Saturday or Sunday, this calculator moves it to the following Monday. Public holidays are not adjusted here — confirm with your community center. If you miss the deadline, payment starts from the month you apply, and earlier months are not paid retroactively.

Where can I apply?

In person at any eup/myeon/dong administrative welfare center (often together with birth registration via Happy Birth One-Stop), or online through Bokjiro or Government24. Online applications are generally limited to the child’s biological parents.

Does this calculator use my family’s saved data?

No. If you have already saved a birth date in the growth calendar on this device (browser localStorage), it can be filled in here. Nothing is read from the family database.
