What must be paid on the last working day

Compensation for unused vacation plus severance pay, with tax on the first part and none on the second within three average monthly salaries.

Three things are due when employment ends: pay for days worked, compensation for untaken vacation, and — for redundancy or liquidation — severance. The first two are taxed; severance is exempt up to three average monthly salaries.

Vacation compensation uses the same average daily earnings as ordinary holiday pay: monthly earnings divided by 29.3. There is no separate termination coefficient, despite how often people expect one.

How to use

Choose the reason for leaving: resignation, redundancy or liquidation, or one of the cases with two weeks' severance.
Enter the earnings for the 12 months before leaving and any excluded days such as sick leave and holidays.
Let the calculator work out the unused holiday days from your dates, or type the number yourself.

What each ground is worth

The ground for dismissal changes only the severance element; wages for days worked and unused holiday are paid in every case. On earnings of 960,000 a year and a year and eight months of service, the unused holiday alone comes to 127,427 gross.

Redundancy adds a full month's earnings on top, and a short list of other grounds — conscription, refusal of a transfer — adds two weeks. That is the entire difference between walking out voluntarily and being made redundant, at least on the day of departure.

Earnings of 960,000 ₽ over twelve months, 247 days worked, hired 10 February 2025 and leaving 30 September 2026, with 46.67 days of unused holiday. Worked out with this calculator.

What to keep in mind

Severance is exempt from income tax within three average monthly salaries, six for the Far North.
Deductions for vacation taken in advance are not modelled. They are not allowed on every ground — redundancy and liquidation rule them out (Article 137 of the Labour Code) — and elsewhere they are capped at 20 percent of the payment.

Where the numbers come from

FAQs

How much is paid on redundancy?

One average monthly salary immediately, a second month if no new job is found, and a third at the employment service's discretion.

Is compensation due when resigning voluntarily?

Compensation for unused vacation, yes — it does not depend on the reason for leaving. Severance pay, no.

How are the compensated days counted?

The full entitlement for each complete working year plus 2.33 days per month of the last one, minus days already taken. A part month of at least half counts in full, and 11 months in the working year earn the whole entitlement.

What if the employer pays late?

Statutory interest of at least 1/150 of the key rate per day is owed on the unpaid amount. Our contract penalty calculator works that out.

What does a redundancy pay out after a year and eight months with no leave taken?

207,427 ₽ gross and 190,862 ₽ received, on earnings of 960,000 ₽ for the year. Of that, 80,000 ₽ is one month's severance and the rest compensates 46.67 days of unused holiday.

How much difference does the ground make?

Resigning pays wages for the days worked plus compensation for unused holiday — 127,427 ₽ of compensation in this example — and no severance. Redundancy adds a month's earnings, and grounds such as conscription add two weeks, which is 38,866 ₽ on the same figures.

Worked example

Redundancy on a salary of 80,000

Input: Earnings of 960,000 ₽ over 12 months, 247 days worked, 12 unused days, redundancy

Output: Compensation 32,764.51 ₽, severance 80,000 ₽, net total 108,505.51 ₽

Note: Only the vacation compensation is taxed. One month of severance sits inside the exempt limit, so it arrives untouched.
