Severance Pay Calculator
Estimate severance pay from your start/end dates and last 3 months of wages, based on average wage.
Eligible with 1+ year of service. Results vary by whether bonuses/allowances are included.
How is it calculated?
Severance = daily average wage × 30 days × (total days worked ÷ 365). The daily average wage is the wages over the last 3 months divided by the days in that period (about 91). This tool derives days worked from your start/end dates and the average wage from your last 3 months of pay.
When to use it
- Before leaving: estimate the severance you'll receive ahead of a resignation or move.
- Compare tenure: see how a few more months of work changes the amount.
- Cross-check: compare the severance your company paid as a reference.
Things to note
- You generally must work 1 year (365 days) or more to qualify for statutory severance; exceptions apply (e.g., under 15 hours/week).
- Average wage may include regular bonuses and annual-leave allowance, so real amounts can differ from the company's calculation.
- Confirm exact figures with your HR team or the Ministry of Employment and Labor calculator.

When am I eligible for severance?
Workers with 1 year (365 days) or more of continuous service and at least 15 hours/week on a 4-week average are eligible. Under 1 year, statutory severance does not accrue.
What goes into average wage?
The total wages paid over the 3 months before leaving (base pay, fixed allowances, prorated regular bonus, etc.). This tool uses the 3-month total you enter, so results can differ depending on whether bonuses/allowances are included.
Can it differ from my company's calculation?
Yes. It can differ based on how bonuses are counted, annual-leave allowance, and ordinary-wage comparisons. This is a reference estimate; confirm exact figures with your company or the labor ministry.
Is my information stored?
No. All calculation happens only in your browser and the dates and wages are never sent to or stored on a server.
