How to Calculate Indemnizacion Salario Integral

The calculation of indemnity for full salary in Spain involves several key factors including the employee's gross monthly salary, the duration of employment, and the applicable legal thresholds. The process requires careful consideration of both the employee's seniority and the specific circumstances of the termination.

Important: This calculator provides an estimate based on standard legal provisions. For exact calculations, consult with a labor lawyer or the Spanish Labor Inspectorate.

Key Considerations

When calculating indemnity for full salary, you must account for:

  • The employee's gross monthly salary
  • The number of years of service
  • Any applicable legal thresholds (e.g., 15 years for certain categories)
  • Whether the termination was voluntary or involuntary

Step-by-Step Calculation

  1. Determine the employee's gross monthly salary
  2. Calculate the total years of service
  3. Apply the appropriate multiplier based on seniority
  4. Multiply the result by the gross monthly salary
  5. Round to the nearest euro according to Spanish rounding rules

Formula and Calculation

The basic formula for calculating indemnity for full salary is:

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

The multiplier varies based on the employee's seniority:

  • 1-14 years: 15 days per year
  • 15-24 years: 18 days per year
  • 25+ years: 21 days per year

For example, an employee with 10 years of service would receive 15 days per year, totaling 150 days of indemnity.

Practical Examples

Example 1: 5 Years of Service

An employee with a gross monthly salary of €2,000 and 5 years of service would receive:

Indemnity = (5 × 15) × €2,000 = €150 × €2,000 = €300,000

Example 2: 20 Years of Service

An employee with a gross monthly salary of €3,000 and 20 years of service would receive:

Indemnity = (20 × 18) × €3,000 = €360 × €3,000 = €1,080,000

Example 3: 30 Years of Service

An employee with a gross monthly salary of €2,500 and 30 years of service would receive:

Indemnity = (30 × 21) × €2,500 = €630 × €2,500 = €1,575,000
