Enter your average monthly wage before leaving, your age at the time, and your employment insurance enrollment period, and it estimates your daily job-seeking benefit, the number of benefit days, and your total expected payout. It applies 60% of your average wage within upper and lower caps, and you can adjust the minimum hourly wage directly to match the latest standard for the lower cap.
How to use
- Enter your average monthly (pre-tax) wage for the three months before leaving.
- Select your age at the time of leaving and your employment insurance enrollment period.
- Check and update the minimum hourly wage used for the lower cap to the latest value.
- Review your daily job-seeking benefit, benefit days, and total expected payout, then copy it.
FAQ
- How is the daily job-seeking benefit determined?
- It's basically 60% of your daily average wage before leaving, adjusted to fall between an upper cap (66,000 won/day) and a lower cap (minimum hourly wage × 80% × 8 hours). A low average wage hits the lower cap, while a very high one hits the upper cap.
- What changes the number of benefit days?
- It's set from 120 up to a maximum of 270 days based on your age at the leaving date (under/over 50) and your employment insurance enrollment period. The older you are and the longer you've been enrolled, the more benefit days you get.
- Will I receive exactly what's calculated here?
- It may differ and is for reference only. It varies with eligibility (involuntary separation, at least 180 insured days, etc.), the actual average wage calculation, and reduction/fraud rules, so check with your local employment center or the employment insurance website.
