How to Choose the Right Labor Calculator
Select the appropriate tool according to your specific employment or payroll scenario:
Job Offers & Salary Reviews
Use the Net Salary Calculator to estimate take-home pay from a gross figure, the Gross from Net Calculator when negotiating net wages, or the Salary Increase Calculator to evaluate wage adjustments.
Dismissals, Resignations & Settlements
For objective or unfair dismissal compensations, consult the Severance Pay Calculator. For accrued vacation and proportional bonus settlements in any termination, use the Final Settlement Calculator.
Unemployment, Hours & Retirement
Estimate SEPE unemployment duration and monthly benefit with the Unemployment Calculator, track project hours with the Work Hours Calculator, and project retirement pension estimates with the Retirement Calculator.
Differentiating Key Labor Concepts
- Final Settlement vs. Severance Pay: The settlement (finiquito) is mandatory in all contract terminations to pay pending days and accrued bonuses. Severance pay applies only in specific terminations (redundancies, dismissals, or expiring fixed-term contracts).
- Net Salary vs. Gross from Net vs. Tax Retention: Net salary calculates disposable income from gross wages; gross from net finds the required contractual figure; tax retention focuses specifically on monthly payroll withholding rates.
