This calculator adds up what an employee in Colombia is owed when the contract ends, from the Código Sustantivo del Trabajo in the Ministry of ICT's official legal compilation and the 2026 minimum wage and transport allowance decrees.
The prestaciones. The prima de servicios pays 30 days a year, so the semester the job ends in pays salary × days / 360. The cesantías pay a month's salary a year, here for the year the job ends in, with 12% interest a year on them for the same time. Both use the salary plus the transport allowance for workers earning up to two minimum wages. Earlier years' cesantías are assumed paid into the fund.
A worked example. 2,500,000 pesos from 1 March 2023 to 30 September 2026, indefinite, dismissed without just cause, 30 vacation days taken: prima 687,274, cesantías 2,061,821, interest 185,564, vacation 1,979,167 and an indemnity of 81.67 days, 6,805,556 pesos. The total is 11,719,382 pesos.
The rest of the article, and all 6 questions about Colombia Final Settlement Calculator (Liquidación), are on the Colombia Final Settlement Calculator (Liquidación) page.
Add the unpaid salary, the prima for the semester (salary × days / 360), the cesantías for the year (salary × days / 360) with 12% yearly interest, the vacation not taken at salary ÷ 30 a day and, after a dismissal without just cause, the article 64 indemnity.
Resigning without a just cause the employer gave earns no indemnity, but the settlement still pays the unpaid salary, the prima for the semester, the cesantías and their interest for the year, and every vacation day earned and not taken, all on the last salary.
For workers earning up to two minimum wages, 3,501,810 pesos in 2026, the 249,095-peso auxilio de transporte is added to the base of the prima and the cesantías under Law 1 of 1963. It does not count for vacation or the indemnity, which use the salary alone.
A salario integral of at least 13 minimum wages already pays the prima, the cesantías and their interest in advance, under article 132. Its settlement is therefore the unpaid salary, the vacation not taken and, after a dismissal without just cause, the indemnity at the lower table for 10 minimum wages or more.
