Así puede calcular cuánto le llegará de prima de fin de año según su salario

TL;DR

  • The year-end prima is a mandatory payment for all dependent workers with a labor contract in Colombia.
  • The calculation formula is (Average Monthly Salary + Transportation Assistance) * Days Worked / 360.
  • Workers with commissions, overtime, or extra hours should use their average monthly earnings over the semester in the formula.
  • Employees who have worked the full six months (July to December) receive approximately 15 days of salary.
  • Those who haven't worked the full semester receive a pro-rated amount based on days worked.
  • Independent contractors and service providers are not eligible for this prima.
  • The deadline for the second prima payment is December 20th; payments can be made earlier.
  • If an employer fails to pay, employees can send a written communication or report it to the Ministry of Labor, which may result in sanctions.
  • Financial experts suggest using the prima for savings, investments (like CDTs or stocks), or paying off debts, rather than solely for seasonal expenses.
  • Pensioners also receive a 13th-month pension payment in December.
