Family benefits are determined based on the YEL income.

Kela uses the confirmed YEL income as the basis of calculating the amount of maternity, special maternity, paternity, parental and partial parental allowance.

The parental allowances are not granted automatically; you need to apply for them.

Entrepreneurs apply for family benefits as private customers. You can find basic information on family benefits also here (in Finnish):
