How Our Calculator Works?

Behind the scenes, the Spain Severance Pay Calculator follows a simple and efficient process to provide you with an accurate estimate:

1. Calculating Years of Service: The tool calculates the number of years between your start date and end date, factoring in partial years if applicable.
2. Choosing the Appropriate Formula: Based on the type of dismissal selected, the tool uses either the 20-day formula (for objective dismissal) or the 33-day formula (for unfair dismissal).
3. Severance Pay Calculation: Once the number of service years is determined, the calculator multiplies that by the daily salary rate (calculated from the monthly salary). This gives an accurate severance pay estimate.

For example, if your gross monthly salary is €2,000 and you’ve worked for 5 years, the tool calculates the severance pay by multiplying 5 years of service by the number of days per year (either 20 or 33, depending on the dismissal type). This is then multiplied by your daily salary to get the final severance pay amount.
