Statutory severance under China’s Labour Contract Law — the N / N+1 / 2N branch and the 3×-average-wage cap, done right. Computes statutory economic compensation (经济补偿金) on leaving a job in China: the base N (one month per year of service, with the ≥6-month rounding), whether it becomes N+1 (pay in lieu of notice) or 2N (unlawful termination), and the two caps that switch on together for high earners — the base capped at 3× the local average wage and years capped at 12. The termination reason is the input that flips the answer, so it is the first question.
Input schema
| Property | Type | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| reason | string | no | How is employment ending? The decisive input. Resignation with no employer fault pays nothing; unlawful termination doubles it. If unsure which Art. 40 case applies, note that the “+1” is only for a non-fault dismissal given without 30 days’ written notice. |
| monthlyWage | number | no | Average monthly wage 月均工资 (pre-tax, incl. bonuses) Average of your last 12 months’ gross pay — base salary + bonuses + allowances, before tax and before your own social-insurance/fund deductions (应得工资). Excludes expense reimbursements. |
| serviceYears | number | no | Years of service |
| serviceMonths | number | no | …plus months The trailing part-year: ≥6 months counts as a full year, under 6 months as half a month’s pay. |
| city | string | no | City Sets the local average wage whose 3× caps the severance base — a figure you would otherwise have to look up. Pick “Other” (or override below) if your city isn’t listed. |
| localAvgWage | number | no | Local average wage 社平工资 override (optional) Leave 0 to use your city’s figure above. The severance-cap caliber is legally negotiable in some cities (Hangzhou especially), so override if you have a specific figure. |
