Décimo Tercer and Décimo Cuarto Sueldo Calculator Ecuador 2026

Calculate Ecuador's décimo tercero and décimo cuarto sueldo for 2026: one twelfth of your earnings and the USD 482 basic salary, in proportion to the months.

Both décimos
—Décimo tercero (by 24 December)
—Décimo cuarto
—Décimo tercero per month if paid monthly
—Décimo cuarto per month if paid monthly

The décimo tercero counts all earnings of the period (salary, overtime, commissions); the décimo cuarto is the same for everyone in full time and proportional for part-time work. Both are exempt from income tax and IESS.

What it does


Ecuador's Labour Code gives two extra salaries. The décimo tercero (article 111) is one twelfth of everything earned from 1 December to 30 November and is paid by 24 December. The décimo cuarto (article 113) is one basic salary, USD 482 in 2026, for the year from August to July in the Sierra and Amazonía, paid by 15 August, or from March to February on the Costa and Galápagos, paid by 15 March. Both can be paid monthly instead if the worker asks.

How to use it


  1. Type your average monthly earnings.
  2. Type the months worked in each period and choose your region.
  3. Read both décimos and the monthly amounts.
