Desahucio bonus calculator

What it calculates

The bonus you receive when you leave your job after giving notice to your employer (desahucio) or when the employment ends by mutual agreement.

What you need

• Your last monthly pay.
• Start date and end date.

How it is calculated

The bonus is 25% of your last monthly pay for each year of service with the same employer (Labor Code, art. 185).

• Since April 2015, desahucio is the worker's notice of leaving. It is given in writing, at least 15 days in advance, unless the employer accepts a shorter period (art. 184).
• The employer has 15 days from the notice to settle.
• The same bonus is paid when the employment ends by mutual agreement.

2026 figures

At the basic wage of USD 482, the bonus is USD 120.50 per year of service. With 10 years: USD 1,205.

Legal basis

• Labor Code, arts. 169 (no. 2), 184 and 185, as amended in April 2015.

Frequently asked questions

Can my employer give me desahucio?

No. Since 2015, desahucio is the worker's notice. If the employer ends the employment without legal cause, it is an unfair dismissal; see the unfair dismissal calculator.

Do I get the bonus if I leave by mutual agreement?

Yes. Article 185 of the Labor Code requires the same bonus.
