Information only: this calculator gives general information. It is not legal advice and does not create a lawyer–client relationship. The result is an estimate based on the figures you enter and on the statutory values shown on this page with their source and effective date. The facts of a particular case, later changes in the law and court practice may produce a different result. No assurance is given that the result is accurate or that any particular outcome will be achieved. Your entries are processed only in your browser; they are not sent to us or stored.
How it is calculated
- Severance pay is 30 days’ wages for each full year of service. Time beyond the full years counts pro rata: months as twelfths of a year, remaining days as 365ths. It is based on the last gross monthly wage including regular benefits, capped at the ceiling in force on the termination date (Law 1475 art. 14). Service under one full year gives no severance pay.
- Notice pay is the wage for the notice period in Labour Act art. 17: 2 weeks under six months of service, 4 weeks up to eighteen months, 6 weeks up to three years, 8 weeks beyond. The daily wage is the monthly wage divided by 30. Notice pay has no ceiling.
What it leaves out
- Whether the way the contract ended creates a right to severance or notice pay at all. See employment law for the cases.
- Taxes and deductions: the results are gross.
- Interest for late payment, unpaid wages, overtime and annual-leave pay.
- Contract or collective-agreement terms more generous than the statutory minimum.
