What it does
The contributory unemployment benefit in Spain is paid by the SEPE to those who lose their job after contributing at least 360 days in the last 6 years. It lasts from 120 days to 2 years depending on the days contributed and pays 70% of the regulatory base for the first 180 days and 60% after that, between a minimum and a maximum set by the IPREM (€600 a month plus one sixth). The SEPE deducts the worker's Social Security contribution.
How to use it
- Type your average monthly contribution base of the last 180 days (it is on your payslips).
