This table compares statutory severance pay across our markets for one standard case — an employee dismissed for redundancy after 10 completed years, earning the national average wage.

Methodology
Figures come from TrendBite's severance calculator pages, each verified against the national authority linked per row. The worked example assumes dismissal for business or redundancy reasons, 10 completed years of service and the national average monthly gross wage; amounts are the statutory minimum before tax, and months = amount / average monthly wage. Spain uses the objective-dismissal formula (its annual salary shown here as monthly); Greece assumes dismissal without notice, the full indemnity including the 1/6 holiday uplift; Serbia uses the gross wage base. Non-euro amounts are converted at ECB-referenced daily rates as of 2026-07-02. Romania has no statutory severance for individual dismissal and is not listed.
