Payment dates
How we calculate it
The bonus period runs from 1 January to 30 April, 120 days in 2027. Days of leave and sick days count as days of work.
For the whole period, the bonus is half a month’s salary. For part of it, it is 1/30 of your salary for every 8 days. On daily pay, it is one day’s pay for every 8 days, up to 15.
The bonus gets 4.1666% on top, the share of the holiday allowance.
Your contributions to e-EFKA, the social security fund, at 13.37%, and the tax at the average rate of your salary come off the gross bonus. Until the 2027 rules come out, the 2026 rules apply.
We checked the rules on 19 October 2026. The result is an estimate. It does not replace your payroll or your accountant.
