This calculator works out the finiquito, the final settlement every employee in Spain is owed when a job ends, whatever the reason: resignation, the end of a temporary contract or dismissal.
What the law says. Article 49.2 of the Estatuto de los Trabajadores obliges the employer to give a proposed settlement of the amounts owed with the notice of termination. You may ask for a workers' representative to be present when you sign.
Salary of the last month. The days worked in the final month and not yet paid, at the monthly salary divided by 30.
Holidays not taken. Article 38 gives at least 30 calendar days a year, which cannot be swapped for money while the job lasts. At the end, the days earned this year in proportion to the days worked, less the days taken, are paid at the yearly salary divided by 365.
Extra payments. If you are paid in 14 payments, the part of each extra payment accrued and not yet paid is owed. With prorated payments nothing more is owed.
A worked example. 24,000 euros in 14 payments, started in 2024, last day 15 October 2026, 30 holiday days with 10 taken: salary 857.10 euros, holidays 13.67 days × 65.75 = 898.80 euros, summer payment 502.55 and Christmas payment 1,352.65 euros. Total 3,611.10 euros.
Severance is separate. A dismissal or the end of a temporary contract can add an indemnity: see the Spain Severance Calculator (Indemnización por Despido).
Not included. Notice not given, overtime and bonuses, IRPF and Social Security, part-time work and unpaid leave.

Three parts: the salary of the days worked in the final month and not yet paid, the holidays earned this year and not taken, and the accrued part of the extra payments when they are not prorated. Leaving on 15 October 2026 on 24,000 euros in 14 payments, with 10 holiday days taken, the three come to 3,611.10 euros.
Holidays are earned in proportion to the days worked in the calendar year: 30 days a year at least, so 23.67 days by 15 October. Subtract the days already taken and pay the rest at the yearly salary divided by 365. On 24,000 euros, 13.67 pending days are worth 898.80 euros.
Yes. The finiquito is owed whenever the contract ends, including a voluntary resignation, because it pays what you have already earned: salary, holidays and extra payments. What a resignation does not give is severance. The employee who resigns must still give the notice set by the collective agreement or local custom.
No. The finiquito settles what you earned up to the last day and is owed on every termination. Severance (indemnización) compensates the loss of the job and is due only in some cases: 33 days a year for unfair dismissal, 20 for an objective dismissal and 12 at the end of a temporary contract. Work it out separately with the severance calculator.
Each extra payment accrues day by day over its period, set by the collective agreement: commonly 1 July to 30 June for the summer payment and the calendar year for Christmas. The part accrued and unpaid on your last day is owed. If your extras were prorated in 12 payments, each payslip already included them.
The employer must give a proposed settlement with the notice of termination. You can ask for a workers' representative to be present when you sign, and the receipt must record that one was present or that you did not ask for one. If the employer prevents it, you can write that on the receipt. Check each amount against this calculation first.
