How to estimate severance pay
Enter your dates and pay
Type your first and last day of work and the gross monthly pay the rule is based on.
Set the rule
Enter how much pay each year of service earns, for example 30 days or 1 week, and add a pay ceiling or a maximum number of years if your rule has one. Example fills in a sample rule.
Read the estimate
You see the length of service, the years counted, the pay used and the amount before and after deductions.
Rules differ by country and contract
Some countries give a fixed number of days' pay per year of service, some scale it by age, and many leave it to the contract or a collective agreement. The calculator applies one clear formula, years of service × pay per year, so you can model your rule and check the result against your documents.
How the pay units are converted
A day of pay is the monthly pay / 30, and a week of pay is the monthly pay × 12 / 52. With Count part years, 6 years and 6 months of service count as 6.5 years; without it, only whole years count.
Frequently asked questions
Does this know my country's law?
No. It doesn't know any country's eligibility rules, minimum service, tax treatment or ceilings, and it doesn't decide whether you are entitled at all. Enter the rule from your contract, a collective agreement or your labour authority.
Which pay should I enter?
The pay your rule is based on, usually the last gross monthly pay. Some rules add regular extras such as bonuses or meal allowances; add them to the amount if yours does.
