Work Calculators

Time tracking, overtime and work records.

TheCalculator's work calculators cover the most common employment situations in Spain: calculating the unemployment benefit you are entitled to after a dismissal or furlough, estimating your severance pay, tracking your working hours or simulating your self-employed contribution under the new real-income-based system. All tools incorporate current 2026 labour legislation.

Employment calculations have one particularity: there is almost always an associated legal deadline, and missing it can cost you a right. Contesting a dismissal takes 20 working days, claiming unemployment benefit 15, and time tracking has been compulsory since 2019 with fines of up to €7,500. That is why these calculators do not simply give a number: each one explains the applicable rules, the deadlines you must respect and the items worth checking before signing any document the company puts in front of you.

Frequently asked questions

Unemployment benefit in Spain equals 70% of your regulatory base for the first 180 days and 60% from day 181 onwards. The regulatory base is calculated as the average contribution base over the last 180 days worked. The maximum benefit period depends on years of contributions: from 4 months with 1 year's contributions up to 2 years with more than 6 years.

Severance pay covers amounts outstanding at the time the contract ends: unused holiday days, the proportional share of bonus payments (if not already spread across monthly pay) and accrued but unpaid wages. It does not include the dismissal compensation, which is a separate concept: 33 days per year worked for unfair dismissal or 20 days for objective grounds dismissal.

Since 2023, self-employed contributions in Spain are calculated based on projected net income, not a freely chosen contribution base. There are 15 brackets: the lowest incomes pay from €200 per month and the highest reach over €500. Contributions are settled the following year once the actual income declared in the tax return is known.

No. They are indicative estimates based on current legislation, useful so you roughly know what to expect and can spot whether a figure presented to you departs from what is reasonable. They do not replace the official calculation by your employer, the employment service or Social Security, nor do they have evidential value in court. If you find a significant discrepancy against what you are offered, the right step is to consult your union, a labour advisor or an employment lawyer before signing anything.

Yes. We review the parameters at the start of each year and whenever a relevant reform comes into force: self-employed contribution brackets, IPREM amounts, the pension percentage scale, dismissal indemnity caps or the planned reduction of the maximum working week. Even so, Spanish employment law changes frequently and some parameters depend on the collective agreement applying to your sector, which may set more favourable conditions than the Workers' Statute.
