Statutory bonus and weekly allowance calculator Malta
Every employee in Malta gets two statutory bonuses and two weekly allowances a year, on top of the wage.
Pick the payment, say whether you worked the whole six months and enter your weekly hours. You get the amount you should receive.
How it's calculated
- The full statutory bonus is €135.10, paid at the end of June and between 15 and 23 December.
- The full weekly allowance is €121.16, paid at the end of March and at the end of September.
- For part of a period, the bonus is €0.74 for each calendar day, weekends included, and the allowance is €4.66 for each working week or part of one.
- Part-time employees get them pro rata to their hours compared with a whole-time employee.
An example
If you started work 92 days before the end of June, your June bonus is 92 × €0.74 = €68.08.
Frequently asked questions
Are the bonuses taxed?
Yes. They are part of your income for tax, so FSS tax is deducted from them like from your wage.
Do part-time workers get them?
Yes. The Part-time Employees Regulations give part-timers the statutory bonuses pro rata, in proportion to their hours compared with a comparable whole-time employee.
Is the weekly allowance the same as the cost of living increase?
No. The weekly allowance is a fixed payment twice a year. The cost of living increase is added to your weekly wage every January.
