Uruguay Severance Calculator (Indemnización por Despido)
Calculate the indemnización por despido in Uruguay: one monthly salary per year or fraction, up to 6, plus unused licencia and the proportional aguinaldo.
The base here adds one twelfth of the salary for the aguinaldo, as is common; some calculations also add the salario vacacional. Special rules (pregnancy, illness, union leaders) can raise it.
What it does
Under Ley 10.489, a monthly-paid worker in Uruguay dismissed after more than 100 days receives an indemnización por despido of one monthly salary for each year of service or fraction, up to six salaries, whatever the reason except serious misconduct. The final settlement also includes unused licencia and its salario vacacional and the proportional aguinaldo.
How to use it
- Type your last nominal salary and the time worked.
- Type the licencia days not taken and the months for the aguinaldo.
- Read the total and each item.
