Severance and Redundancy by Country Guide
This guide helps you use the severance calculator with employment start and end dates correctly and the whole calculation runs in your browser while your data stays on your device. For the Turkish model, service time is converted into years and days, the gross salary including regular supplements is identified, and the current ceiling amount is entered to cap any excess daily wage. The German, French, Spanish and United Kingdom models use their own formulas with different definitions of service length and qualifying pay. Enter the current ceiling, minimum wage or tax figure without assuming a fixed value. The result is for information only and an accountant, lawyer and current legislation should govern any formal action.
Step by step
- Enter the employment start and termination dates completely according to official documents.
- Check your service duration carefully in years, months and days in the calculator.
- Enter your gross salary correctly together with regular supplementary payments.
- For the Turkish calculation, obtain the current ceiling from a current source and enter it.
- When comparing countries, separately select the German, French, Spanish or United Kingdom model.
- Save the result as preliminary information and consult a professional for formal proceedings.
Example scenario
Consider an example employed from 1 June 2021 to 31 May 2024 with a gross salary of 50,000 TL. The service period is approximately three years and the calculator multiplies this duration by the qualifying pay. For the Turkish model you must enter the current ceiling amount because any daily wage above the ceiling is limited. The German, French, Spanish and United Kingdom models produce different results from the same period through their national formulas. This example illustrates the method, so enter the current ceiling because it may change and use the outcome only as a preliminary assessment.
Check your result
To validate the calculation first confirm on a calendar that 1 June 2021 to 31 May 2024 is approximately three years. Compare your salary with payroll records to confirm whether regular supplements are included. Obtain the current ceiling from an official current source and verify that it was entered correctly. If you selected another country model, review that country service and pay definition on the screen. Remember that the result is for information only and that an accountant, lawyer and current legislation are essential for formal action and deadline protection.
Frequently asked questions
Which salary is used for severance?
The gross salary including regular supplements is generally used. Verify the applicable practice with payroll documents and professional advice.
Why is the ceiling amount important?
The ceiling sets an upper limit on daily pay and restricts results for higher salaries. Entering the current amount is necessary for an accurate calculation.
Why do foreign country models produce different results?
Each country uses different formulas for service length, age and qualifying pay. The same employment period can therefore convert into different amounts.
Is this calculation sufficient for an official application?
No, it is not sufficient because the result is only for information. An accountant, lawyer and current legislation are essential for formal proceedings.
Which documents should I prepare?
Prepare the employment contract, start and termination documents and payroll records. The dates in those documents directly affect the calculation.
