Privacy and local calculations
Calculator inputs stay in your browser. Salary, dates, and other amounts you enter are used locally to generate the estimate and are not sent to our server for the calculation.
Formula and scope
The visible formula on this page is monthly salary / 30 × bonus days × days worked in the year / days in the year. For private-sector Mexico cases, the default minimum shown is 15 days because that is the floor most users expect from Article 87.
The page also makes clear that public-sector rules may vary by decree or annual payroll guidance, so the calculator does not quietly assume a different 2026 standard.
Quick example
If your monthly salary is 15,000 MXN, you worked the full year, and you use 15 bonus days, the simple reference result is 7,500 MXN.
If you started later in the year, the page prorates the estimate according to the days worked between your hire date and the calculation date.

Calculator FAQ
Does the calculator use 15 days by default?
Yes. It starts from the private-sector minimum of 15 days under Article 87 of Mexico's Federal Labor Law, but you can edit the field.
Is the result valid for the public sector?
Not automatically. Public-sector aguinaldo can depend on decrees or annual payroll rules, so this page keeps the estimate simple and explicit.
Does this replace the employer's final payroll calculation?
No. It is an informational estimate built from a simple proportional formula.
