Croatia Severance Pay Calculator (Otpremnina)
Calculate Croatian severance pay (otpremnina): at least one third of the average monthly salary for each full year, after 2 years, up to 6 salaries.
There is no otpremnina for a dismissal for misconduct, or if you are 65 or older with 15 years of pension service. A law, collective agreement or contract can give more than the minimum and above the 6-salary cap.
What it does
Under article 126 of the Croatian Labour Act (Zakon o radu) an employer that dismisses a worker after 2 years of continuous work pays severance pay (otpremnina) of at least one third of the average monthly salary of the last 3 months for each full year with that employer. Unless a law, collective agreement or contract says otherwise, the total cannot exceed 6 average monthly salaries.
How to use it
- Type the start and the last day of employment.
- Type your average monthly gross salary of the last 3 months.
- Read the otpremnina, the amount per year and the cap.
The arithmetic runs in your browser. Nothing you type is sent anywhere and nothing is stored, so you can use these with real numbers.
