Are you looking for how to calculate the Christmas bonus 2025? You have come to the right place, because we bring you everything you need to know, as well as the answer to some doubts. Take note.
As every year-end, working people will receive an extra payment. You are probably wondering: how many days of Christmas bonus are by law? According to the Federal Labor Attorney’s Office (Profedet) this payment must be at least 15 days of salary.
This is a right that all workers must receive, except those hired as “professional service providers, unless there is a subordinate relationship,” according to Profedet.
How is the Christmas bonus 2025 calculated?
Calculating it is very simple, you only have to multiply your daily payment by 15. Now, if your salary is not fixed, the calculation is made based on the “average daily income of the last 30 days actually worked, considering any concept received by the worker”, explains Profedet.
Surely there are several doubts regarding the payment of the Christmas bonus 2025. The first thing you should know is that if you were on maternity disability, temporary disability or had paternity leave, nothing should be deducted from your Christmas bonus, since it is considered that workers remain active.
What about people who quit or were fired from their jobs? They should also receive the proportional part of the Christmas bonus, which should correspond to the time they worked. Just be careful: this payment must be given to you as soon as the employment relationship ends as part of the liquidation or severance payment.
In the case of deceased workers, their beneficiaries (such as a spouse or children under 25 years of age, for example) may receive the corresponding Christmas bonus, as long as economic dependence is demonstrated.
The full Christmas bonus is paid to those who have worked a full year; however, if you have worked less than a year in your current job, you will also receive your Christmas bonus, only that it will be a proportional part.
Now you know how much of your Christmas bonus you will receive in 2025. What are you going to spend it on? The deadline to be paid is December 20.
