Dominican Republic Christmas Salary Calculator (Salario de Navidad)
Calculate the Dominican Republic's Christmas salary (salario de Navidad): one twelfth of the ordinary salary earned in the year, paid by 20 December.
Only the ordinary salary counts: overtime, commissions and bonuses are left out. The Christmas salary is exempt from ISR and TSS contributions up to five minimum wages.
What it does
Article 219 of the Dominican Labor Code gives every employee a Christmas salary (salario de Navidad, also called doble sueldo or regalía pascual) equal to one twelfth of the ordinary salary earned during the calendar year. It must be paid no later than 20 December. Workers who leave or start during the year get the proportional part, and it is also due when the contract ends.
How to use it
- Type your monthly ordinary salary.
- Type how many months you worked this year.
- Read the Christmas salary.
