How to Calculate Severance Pay
in Hong Kong?

Severance pay in Hong Kong is a payment made to eligible employees who are dismissed due to redundancy or layoff, or whose fixed-term contracts are not renewed. To qualify, the employee must have worked continuously for at least 24 months under a contract of employment.

The amount is generally calculated as two-thirds of the last full month’s wages (or the average over the past 12 months, if higher) multiplied by the number of years of service, capped at HK$390,000.

For monthly-rated employees, the calculation is based on two-thirds of the last full month’s wages, but capped at HK$15,000 (i.e. two-thirds of HK$22,500). For daily- or piece-rated employees, it's based on 18 days' wages from the last 30 working days, or two-thirds of HK$22,500, whichever is lower.
