Final pay calculator Namibia

When your employment ends, section 37 of the Labour Act lists everything your employer has to pay you.

Enter your pay, the days still owed and how the job ended to see each item and the total before tax.

How it's calculated

Daily pay is your monthly remuneration divided by 4.33 times your work days a week. Unpaid days and leave days are paid at that rate.
Severance pay is 1 week week's remuneration for each completed year, when the law gives it.
Pay instead of notice is one day, one week or one month of pay, depending on how long you worked.

An example

Dismissed after 3 years on N$12,000 a month, with 8 unpaid days, 10 leave days and notice paid out: N$4,431.12 + N$5,538.90 + N$8,308.32 + N$12,000 = N$30,278.34.

Frequently asked questions

Is leave for the current cycle paid out?

Yes. You get leave pay for completed cycles and a pro rata amount for the cycle you are in. You can lose the pro rata part if, without good cause, you leave without working your notice or paying your employer instead.

Do I get a certificate of service?

Yes. It must show your name, the employer, your start and end dates, your job and your pay, and the reason for leaving if you ask for it.

When must my employer pay?

On or before the next pay day after the employment ends.
