How to use the Severance Calculator
Enter your monthly gross salary in EUR.
Enter your years of service (decimals allowed for partial years).
Choose the dismissal type: Improcedente (unfair, 33 days per year) or Objetivo (fair, 20 days per year).
See the statutory severance pay and whether the cap has been reached.
Enter your monthly salary, years of service, and dismissal type. The calculator computes the Spanish statutory indemnizacion por despido and shows whether the monthly salary cap applies to your case.
For unfair dismissal (despido improcedente), the rate is 33 days per year of service, capped at 24 monthly salaries. For fair dismissal (despido objetivo), the rate is 20 days per year, capped at 12 monthly salaries.
Once your accumulated days exceed the cap for your dismissal type, the payout stops growing at that ceiling. The tool flags when this happens so you can see why the figure levels off.
The result reflects the statutory minimum. Collective agreements may set higher amounts, and contracts signed before February 2012 can follow different transitional rules.

Frequently asked questions
An unfair dismissal (improcedente) is one where the employer has no valid legal grounds or has not followed the required procedure. The statutory indemnizacion is 33 days of daily salary per year of service, up to a maximum of 24 monthly salaries.
An objective or fair dismissal (objetivo or procedente) is based on specific legal grounds, such as economic, technical, organizational, or production reasons. The statutory indemnizacion is 20 days of daily salary per year of service, up to a maximum of 12 monthly salaries.
The daily salary (salario diario) is the monthly salary multiplied by 12, then divided by 365. This gives the daily rate used in the severance formula.
No. Workers with service before 12 February 2012 are subject to a transitional rule: the portion before that date is calculated at 45 days per year (the old rate), and the portion after is calculated at 33 days. This calculator applies the post-2012 rate of 33 days for the full period.
