How 퇴직금 계산기 2026 (Korea Toejikgeum Calculator) works

This calculator works out Korean severance pay, 퇴직금, the way the Ministry of Employment and Labor's own calculator does, from Articles 4, 8 and 9 of the Employee Retirement Benefit Security Act and Article 2 of the Labor Standards Act.

The formula. Severance is at least 30 days of average wage for each year of continuous service: daily average wage × 30 × days of service ÷ 365. Part years count by the day.

A worked example. The Ministry's own: start 2 October 2014, retirement date 16 September 2017, 1,080 days. ₩2,360,000 a month gives ₩7,080,000 over 92 days; 3/12 of a ₩4,000,000 bonus adds ₩1,000,000 and 3/12 of ₩300,000 leave pay ₩75,000. ₩8,155,000 ÷ 92 is ₩88,641.31 a day, and ₩88,641.31 × 30 × 1,080 ÷ 365 is ₩7,868,434.

Frequently asked questions

How is severance pay calculated in South Korea?

Korean severance pay (퇴직금) is at least 30 days of average wage for each year of continuous service: the daily average wage times 30 times the days of service divided by 365. The Ministry's example, ₩88,641.31 a day over 1,080 days, gives ₩7,868,434.

What is the average wage for severance?

Under Article 2 of the Labor Standards Act, the average wage is the wages paid in the 3 months before leaving divided by the calendar days of those months, usually 89 to 92. The Ministry adds 3/12 of the annual bonus and of the annual-leave allowance.

Who is entitled to severance pay in Korea?

Every employee with at least one year of continuous service and at least 15 hours of work a week on average over four weeks. Contract, part-time and foreign workers qualify on the same terms. Under one year, the law requires nothing, so this calculator shows ₩0.

Is severance pay taxed in Korea?

Yes. Severance is taxed as retirement income (퇴직소득세), separately from salary and at a low effective rate thanks to deductions for years of service. The National Tax Service publishes a calculator on hometax.go.kr; this page shows the amount before that tax.
