Start with your own numbers

Editable example

An example is filled in. Replace it with your own data to calculate.

First confirm that the Taiwan new-system severance rule applies, then enter the confirmed monthly average wage and years, months and days. Enter 3, 6 and 15 for 3 years, 6 months and 15 days, not 3.65 years.

Use a monthly average wage confirmed under Taiwan law. It may differ from base salary, the latest monthly pay or insured salary. Up to two decimal places. Confirm an unknown average using Ministry of Labor guidance rather than guessing.
For confirmed service of 3 years, 6 months and 15 days, enter 3 here. Include only recognized service under Taiwan's new labor pension system, not old-system service or unrelated employers.
Enter 6 for the same example, not 42. Range: 0–11 months. This tool uses confirmed service and does not determine date ranges, leave exclusions or continuity of service.
Enter 15 for the same example; range 0–29 days. Enter zero if there are no remaining days. Use the official Ministry calculator first when service components or special periods are uncertain.

Example result

New-system severance estimated from confirmed inputs

53,125TWD

The main answer estimates the amount for these confirmed inputs. The multiplier stays a fraction rather than being truncated to a rounded decimal. Actual payment requires checking termination grounds, average wage, recognized service and statutory rights; this tool does not decide eligibility.

New-system severance multiplier (exact fraction)85/48 months
Six-month cap statusBelow the six-month cap

Worked steps

  1. (3 × 360 + 6 × 30 + 15) ÷ 720
  2. The multiplier is capped at six months
  3. 30000 × 85/48 ≈ 53,125

Multiplier = (whole years × 360 + months × 30 + days) ÷ 720, capped at six months; multiply it by confirmed monthly average wage. Thirty is used only for fractional service here; do not use it to turn a daily average wage into a monthly average in every case. Keep the full fraction until the displayed amount is rounded to cents. This is display rounding, not an official settlement-rounding rule. A positive result below TWD 0.01 displays as less than 0.01, not zero. Zero entered service producing zero does not decide legal rights. Old-system severance, notice pay, unused-leave pay, wage arrears and other payments are excluded. This tool does not infer recognized service from dates. Use the Ministry of Labor official calculator and confirm uncertain wage or eligibility matters with the appropriate local labor authority.

What this tool helps you do

Arithmetic estimate for recognized service under Taiwan's Labor Pension Act new-system severance rule. This page does not determine rights for voluntary resignation, old-system or mixed service, disputed eligibility or special contracts.

What to enter

Enter confirmed monthly average wage and recognized years, months and days under the new system with the same employer. Legal wage averaging includes specific rules and excluded periods. Do not substitute base salary. This tool does not determine the average from six months of payroll or calculate recognized service from dates.

How it is calculated

Multiplier = (whole years × 360 + months × 30 + days) ÷ 720, capped at six months; multiply it by confirmed monthly average wage. Thirty is used only for fractional service here; do not use it to turn a daily average wage into a monthly average in every case.

Worked example

Ministry example: TWD 30000 monthly average and 3 years, 6 months, 15 days give 1/2 × [3 + (6 + 15/30) ÷ 12] = 85/48 months, then 30000 × 85/48 = TWD 53125.

Understanding the answer

Keep the full fraction until the displayed amount is rounded to cents. This is display rounding, not an official settlement-rounding rule. A positive result below TWD 0.01 displays as less than 0.01, not zero. Zero entered service producing zero does not decide legal rights.

Scope and limitations

Old-system severance, notice pay, unused-leave pay, wage arrears and other payments are excluded. This tool does not infer recognized service from dates. Use the Ministry of Labor official calculator and confirm uncertain wage or eligibility matters with the appropriate local labor authority.
