How is Korean severance pay estimated?

It uses a simplified work-period and average-wage estimate. Actual severance can vary by contract, wage items, bonuses, allowances, and company settlement rules.

Does it apply to work periods under one year?

Eligibility depends on legal conditions such as continuous service period. Use this as a rough amount estimate, not an eligibility ruling.

Are severance income taxes included?

The base result estimates gross severance amount. Severance income tax and net payout require separate calculation rules.
