This calculator works out one worker's share of the participación de trabajadores en las utilidades, the 15% of a company's profit that Ecuadorian law gives to its workers every year.
The 10%. Article 97 divides 10% of the profit among all the workers without regard to their salaries. A worker who did not work the whole year gets the part proportional to the time served, so the calculator splits the 10% by days worked: your days over the days of all the workers together.
The base and the dates. The base is the utilidad líquida in the company's income tax return (article 104). The company settles the utilidades by 31 March and pays each worker within the following 15 days (article 105). They do not count as remuneration for IESS contributions or the fondo de reserva (article 102). The cap of 24 basic wages added in 2015 was declared unconstitutional from fiscal year 2017 and is not applied.

Article 97 of the Código del Trabajo gives the workers 15% of the company's profit. 10% is divided among all workers in proportion to the time each worked, whatever the salary; 5% in proportion to their cargas familiares. Your share is the 10% times your days over everyone's days, plus the 5% weighted by days and cargas.
The workers receive $30,000: $20,000 for the 10% and $10,000 for the 5%. With 20 workers who all worked the year and 30 cargas among them, a full year is worth $1,000 of the 10%, and each carga $333.33 of the 5%, so a worker with 2 cargas gets $1,666.67.
Yes. Article 97 says that those who did not work the whole year receive the part proportional to their time of service. Six months of a full year is half the 10% share; with $200,000 of profit and 20 workers, 182 days are worth $498.63 instead of $1,000.
Article 105 makes the employer settle the utilidades by 31 March each year and pay each worker's share within fifteen days of that settlement, so by mid-April. The employer then sends the proof of payment to the labour authority, under penalty of a fine.
