Latvia Sick Pay Calculator (Slimības Nauda)
Calculate Latvian sick pay: slimības nauda from the employer for days 2 to 9 at 75% and 80%, then slimības pabalsts from VSAA at 80% from day 10.
The employer pays only for days you would have worked, and the first day of sickness is not paid. The estimate uses your monthly salary ÷ 21.75 working days for the employer and × 12 ÷ 365 per calendar day for VSAA. Many employers pay more.
