Semesterersättning is the money a Swedish employer pays instead of holiday when a job ends before the paid holiday earned has been taken. This calculator follows the Semesterlag (1977:480) as published by the Riksdag, read on 16 October 2026.
The percentage rule. Section 16 b sets holiday pay at 12% of the pay earned in the earning year. Those 12% pay for all the days earned, so each day is worth the total divided by the days earned: 480,000 kr gives 57,600 kr over 25 days, 2,304 kr a day.
Ending the job. Sections 28 and 29 say that holiday pay not yet received is paid as semesterersättning, worked out the same way. With 10 of the 25 days taken, the 15 left are worth 34,560 kr. Section 30 requires payment within a month of the job ending.

Semesterersättning is worked out like holiday pay. Under the percentage rule holiday pay is 12% of the pay earned in the earning year, which covers up to 25 days. Dividing by the days earned gives the value of a day, and the unused days are paid at that value when the job ends.
The earning year, intjänandeår, runs from 1 April to 31 March. The paid holiday earned in it is taken in the following holiday year, which also runs from 1 April to 31 March. Holiday taken in summer 2026 was earned between April 2025 and March 2026.
Semester law section 30 requires the employer to pay semesterersättning without unreasonable delay and at the latest one month after the employment ends. The payment is gross pay, so tax is withheld, and it covers the paid holiday days earned but not taken by the last day of work.
Under the percentage rule holiday pay is 12% of the pay earned. Under the same-pay rule, used for many monthly-paid employees, you keep your normal salary on holiday and get a supplement of 0.43% of the monthly salary per day. Collective agreements often set their own rule.
