Calculo Indemnizacion Por Despido Sin Justa Causa Salario Integral

When an employee is unjustly dismissed in Spain, they may be entitled to compensation based on their salary and years of service. This calculator helps you determine the amount of indemnity you might be owed when your dismissal was without just cause and you were receiving your full salary.

How to Calculate Indemnity for Unjustified Dismissal

The amount of indemnity for unjustified dismissal in Spain is calculated based on the employee's salary and years of service. The key factors include:

Your monthly salary
Number of years you worked for the company
Whether you were receiving your full salary at the time of dismissal

The calculation follows specific legal formulas that vary slightly depending on the length of service. The Spanish Labor Code provides the framework for these calculations.

Formula for Indemnity Calculation

The basic formula for calculating indemnity is:

Indemnity = (Monthly Salary × Years of Service) × Multiplier

The multiplier depends on the number of years worked:

Less than 1 year: 11 months
1-4 years: 22 months
5-10 years: 24 months
11-20 years: 26 months
More than 20 years: 28 months

For example, if you worked 3 years at a salary of €2,000 per month, the calculation would be:

Indemnity = (€2,000 × 3) × 22 = €132,000

Worked Example

Let's look at a concrete example to illustrate how the calculation works.

Scenario

Monthly salary: €2,500
Years of service: 7 years
Dismissal was without just cause
Full salary was being received

Calculation

Determine the multiplier: 7 years falls into the 5-10 year category, so the multiplier is 24 months.
Calculate the base amount: €2,500 × 7 = €17,500
Apply the multiplier: €17,500 × 24 = €420,000

The total indemnity in this case would be €420,000.

Note: This is a simplified example. Actual calculations may involve additional factors like bonuses, commissions, or other compensation elements.
