Sick pay by tenure calculator

Enter average daily earnings, the number of sick days, and the payment percentage you're entitled to based on insurance tenure. The calculator works out the sick pay amount.

Computed under your country's rules over a reference period — the calculator takes this figure as a ready input
Depends on insurance tenure and the rules of a specific country — for example, Russia commonly uses thresholds like 'under 5 years — 60%, 5–8 years — 80%, 8+ years — 100%', but that's just an example, not a universal rule: use the percentage that applies to you

How it is calculated

Sick pay = average daily earnings × sick days × payment percentage ÷ 100. The payment percentage is the share of average earnings actually paid out, and it's usually the part that depends on an employee's insurance tenure.

The specific tenure thresholds and matching percentages are a rule of a specific country, not a universal standard — they can change and differ between jurisdictions, so the percentage here is an editable field rather than a built-in table. Use whatever percentage actually applies to you under current rules.

Average daily earnings for sick pay, like for vacation pay, is usually computed over a set reference period (not simply the salary on the date of illness) — check that against your local rules too if you don't already have a ready figure.
