Severance Pay Calculator Frankräich 2026

France uses a two-rate accrual formula for the indemnité légale de licenciement: one quarter of a month per year for the first ten years, then one third of a month per year beyond ten. Below eight months of continuous service there is no entitlement at all.

Article R1234-2 of the Code du travail fixes the rate at 1/4 month of salary per year of service up to ten years, rising to 1/3 month per year thereafter. Ten years of service therefore produce 2.50 months of salary, and twenty years produce 5.83 months — the accelerating second tier is what separates the French system from a flat per-year accrual.

Article L1234-9 sets the eligibility floor at eight months of continuous service. An employee dismissed at seven months receives no statutory severance at all, only the notice period. Notice itself is 30 days below two years of service and 60 days from two years.

The reference salary is the more favourable of the average of the last twelve months or the average of the last three months, with any annual or exceptional bonus paid during that window pro-rated. Dismissal for faute grave or faute lourde removes the entitlement entirely, while a conventional rupture (rupture conventionnelle) cannot pay less than the legal indemnity.

Collective agreements frequently improve on the statutory rate and always prevail when more favourable, so the figure produced here is the legal floor, not a ceiling. France's minimum wage (SMIC) of €1,867 gross per month sets the lower bound for the reference salary of full-time employees.
