TFR severance pay calculator

Italian severance pay (TFR, trattamento di fine rapporto) accrues every year and is revalued. Enter annual pay and years of service to estimate the gross TFR held by the employer.

All amounts paid during the year on a non-occasional basis, including the 13th month (Civil Code, art. 2120).

Decimals are fine: 2.5 is two and a half years.

Optional: the fund at last 31 December, if you know it.

By law it is 1.5% fixed plus 75% of the ISTAT price increase: with 2% inflation the revaluation is 3%.

How the calculation works

  1. 1 Annual accrual = annual pay ÷ 13.5 (Civil Code, art. 2120).
  2. 2 The 0.50% contribution on pay, which the employer pays to INPS, is deducted from the accrual.
  3. 3 Every year the fund already accrued is revalued by 1.5% fixed plus 75% of ISTAT inflation.
  4. 4 The estimate is gross: it ignores the separate taxation and any TFR paid into a pension fund.

Frequently asked questions

When is TFR paid?

When employment ends, through resignation, dismissal or retirement. After at least 8 years of service an employee can ask for an advance of up to 70% for medical costs or buying a first home (Civil Code, art. 2120).

Does TFR always stay with the employer?

No: the employee can pay it into a supplementary pension fund. In companies with 50 or more employees, TFR not paid into a fund goes to the INPS Treasury Fund.

How is TFR taxed?

Separately: an average rate is worked out on its own, not together with the year's other income.
