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.
This calculator computes the Spanish statutory indemnizacion por despido using the post-2012 reform rates: 33 days per year for unfair dismissal (capped at 24 monthly salaries) and 20 days per year for fair dismissal (capped at 12 monthly salaries).
