Liability component calculator

You can use the estimation calculator to calculate an estimate of the amount and percentage of the liability component. The estimate is based on the information you enter.

The date of the start of a person’s entitlement to an unemployment allowance has a decisive impact on the liability component. The estimation calculator works on the assumption that the person’s entitlement to unemployment allowance begins after the liability period for unemployment cover following the end date of the employment relationship.

The liability periods for unemployment cover are as follows:

  • 7 working days if the liability period began in the period 2010–2013 or in 2017
  • 5 working days if the liability period began in the period 2014–2016 or in 2018 or after

The estimation calculator does not take into account factors such as financial benefits paid related to the termination of employment, any breaks in the payment of the unemployment allowance, or any future increases in unemployment security.

The liability component will be collected until the person turns 63, 64 or 65 (depending on the year of birth).
