# Sick-leave pay calculator

What an employee on sick leave receives — the employer's first two days at 70 %, then НОИ at 80 % (90 % after a labour accident), with the net-pay cap the law applies.

Sick-leave pay calculator

Gross monthly salary

Taken as steady over the 18-month reference period; a real claim uses the actual payroll of those months.

Working days of sick leave

Cause

A benefit from НОИ requires 6 months of insurance for the sickness risk (not for under-18s or labour accidents). Paid on working days only; sick notes covering weekends and holidays do not add days.

Total for the spell

€724.56

Paid by the employer — first 2 working day(s) at 70 % of daily gross

€133.33

Paid by НОИ — 8 day(s) at 80 % of daily insurable income

€591.22

Daily figures

Daily gross (÷ 21)

€95.24

Daily insurable income

€95.24

Daily net pay (the cap)

€73.90

НОИ daily benefit (80 %)

€73.90

НОИ's 80 % of insurable income comes to more than the daily net pay, so the benefit is capped at net (КСО чл. 41 ал. 1). For a steady salary under the ceiling this is the usual case.

An estimate under КСО чл. 40–41 for the standard case. The real benefit is computed by НОИ from 18 months of actual insurable income and the working days by calendar of that period — we prepare and file those claims; ask us.
