Terminal benefits calculator Uganda

When a job ends you may be owed several payments at once. This calculator adds them up.

Enter your service, salary, why the job ended and any leave or salary still owed.

How it's calculated

Severance allowance: 1 month of salary for each full year worked, after at least 6 months, in the cases the Employment Act lists.
Pay in lieu of notice, if the employer ended the job without letting you work the notice: from 2 weeks to 3 months of pay, by length of service.
Leave not taken and days worked but not paid, at your daily rate.

After four years on Ushs 1,000,000, a redundant employee with 10 leave days and 5 unpaid days is owed about Ushs 5,692,307.

Is NSSF part of my terminal benefits?

No. Your NSSF savings stay with the Fund. You claim them as an NSSF benefit, for example the withdrawal benefit at 50 after a year out of work.

When is severance not due?

After resignation, summary dismissal, retirement or the normal end of a contract, and when you have worked less than 6 months.

Can I accept pay instead of working my notice?

Yes. The Act does not let a contract exclude notice, but you can accept payment in lieu of notice.

Terminal benefits: Everything an employer owes when the job ends, also called final dues.
