Severance pay is dates multiplied by wage
Two dates and the all-in gross wage are enough. In the background the calculation checks the ceiling, works out the decimal years of service and returns the gross amount.

Before calculating the amount, check whether entitlement arises
Even when the period and the wage are right, not every departure triggers severance. What decides it is who ended the contract, and on what grounds.
Entitlement arises
- The employer terminating the contract without a valid or just cause
- Leaving to perform compulsory military service
- Qualifying for a retirement or old-age pension
- A woman employee leaving within one year of her marriage date
- Payment to legal heirs in the event of the employee’s death
- The employee exercising the right to immediate termination for just cause
No entitlement
- Resigning without a valid cause
- The employer terminating for just cause on grounds of breach of good faith
- Total service falling under one year
- A fixed-term contract expiring on its own (as a rule)
The calculation in four steps
Every line you see in the panel is the output of one of these steps.
Convert service to years
The difference in days between the two dates is taken and converted to decimal years with the 365.25 factor, which accounts for leap years.
Build the all-in wage
The monthly value of recurring benefits is added to the last bare gross wage; that total is the base.
Apply the ceiling
The all-in wage is compared against the annual ceiling in force, and the lower of the two is used for the calculation.
Find the amount
The decimal years of service are multiplied by the wage used as the base. The result is gross severance; only stamp duty is deducted.
Frequently asked about severance pay
The other items in the same termination file
Severance is not calculated alone on an exit; the notice period and the leave balance are settled in the same file.
The calculator produces a gross amount under Article 14 of Labour Law No. 1475, which remains in force; it does not convert to net, because tax and deductions vary with each person’s cumulative annual base. It is for information only and does not replace a payroll output.
Stop doing this by hand on every exit
HR&Tomorrow produces the severance and notice amounts automatically from the dates and wage data in the employee record; the exit file closes on one screen.
