# What a leave costs

Pay lost over a parental, medical or caregiver leave after employer-paid weeks, the state program's weekly maximum and short-term disability; the wRVU bonus with the threshold as written and reduced; the FMLA's three tests and, for residents, the ACGME six weeks, against the facts entered.

The page computes in the browser from the values in its fields, which start as a labeled example. Nothing entered is sent anywhere.

## Open it with a physician's numbers

Add the values after `#`, starting with `src=assistant`, in the page's own units (a percent as 8.07): https://www.joinandwise.com/decide/time-off#src=assistant&role=…&kind=…&leaveStart=…

A field left out keeps the page's value. The page says it opened from an assistant's link and asks the physician to check each number. The browser does not send the part after `#` to any server.
