Severance calculator: benchmark and range from salary and years of service

Enter gross salary and length of employment: the calculator shows a rule of thumb with lower and upper limit as an anchor for negotiations.Enlarge image

On the left you enter the gross monthly salary and years and months of employment, and the estimate appears on the right. The rule of thumb counts half a gross monthly salary per year of employment, so in the example with €4,200 and twelve years it is €25,200; a lower and an upper limit show the range for settlement negotiations. This gives you an anchor for the conversation with the employer before you sign anything. All figures are a worked example, and the risk box below makes clear that severance pay is a matter of negotiation and that a blocking period (Sperrzeit) for unemployment benefit may apply.
