Formula Used

Base Severance = Monthly Salary × Severance Months Per Year × Service Years Used

Daily Salary = Monthly Salary ÷ Working Days Per Month

Leave Payout = Daily Salary × Unused Leave Days

Notice Pay = Monthly Salary × Notice Months

Gross Severance = Base Severance + Notice Pay + Leave Payout + Bonus + Commission + Allowances

Minimum Protection = Higher of Gross Severance or Minimum Guaranteed Payout

Tax Amount = Gross Severance × Tax Rate ÷ 100

Final Net Severance = Gross Severance − Tax − Deductions, then optional rounding

This model helps HR teams test policy-based scenarios, caps, partial years, and payout adjustments before preparing offboarding letters or payroll instructions.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. What does this employee severance calculator estimate?

It estimates gross and net severance using salary, service length, notice pay, leave payout, bonuses, commissions, deductions, taxes, caps, and minimum guarantees.

2. Can I include partial years of service?

Yes. Enable the partial-year option and enter extra service months. The calculator converts those months into a service-year fraction automatically.

3. How is unused leave converted into money?

Unused leave payout uses daily salary. Daily salary equals monthly salary divided by working days per month, then multiplied by unused leave days.

4. What if company policy caps payable service years?

Enter the maximum service years allowed. The calculator will limit the severance service years to that cap before computing base severance.

5. Can this handle guaranteed minimum severance packages?

Yes. Add a minimum guaranteed payout. The calculator compares it against the computed gross severance and keeps the higher value.

6. Should tax always be applied to severance?

Not always. Rules differ by country and policy. Use the tax checkbox only when you want the model to reduce gross severance by tax.

7. Why is there a rounding step input?

Some payroll teams round final payouts to the nearest whole unit or defined step. This option applies that rule after tax and deductions.

8. Can I use the downloaded report for audits or approvals?

Yes. The CSV export is useful for spreadsheets, while the PDF export is better for reviews, internal approvals, and employee payout discussions.
