Peru Gratification Calculator: July and December bonuses

Gratifications in Peru are mandatory payments made by employers in July (National Holidays) and December (Christmas). They equal one full salary if the worker was employed the entire semester (January-June for July, July-December for December). If less, it is calculated proportionally.

In addition to the gratification, workers receive an extraordinary bonus of 9% of the gratification. This 9% replaces the employer's EsSalud contribution on gratifications and is exempt from taxes and contributions. The gratification itself is also exempt from income tax.

Included in the calculation are: basic salary, family allowance, regular commissions and regular overtime. Extraordinary bonuses, profit sharing, working conditions and food benefits are excluded. The maximum payment deadline is the first half of July and December.
