An Article 77 estimate depends on contract type, wage and either service duration or the remaining fixed-contract period depending on the case. This guide helps you prepare those inputs before calculating.
A fixed-term contract and an indefinite contract are treated differently in the calculator's reviewed methodology.
Check the employment contract itself before selecting a type in the calculator whenever the document is available.
For an indefinite-contract scenario, the estimate uses wage and service duration, while a fixed-contract scenario uses the remaining period according to the calculator methodology.
Use actual values where possible because changes in wage or duration can materially affect the result.
The calculator applies the reviewed Article 77 methodology, including the statutory minimum that can affect an estimate when the initial calculation is lower.
Use the output to understand the scenario, then verify the contract and official source before treating it as a final settlement.
A contractual compensation clause, disagreement about termination or a disputed wage can make the real case more complex than a calculator model.
The official Article 77 source connected to the calculator is listed below.
