Quickly calculate your sick leave pay and payout percentage based on your years of service and monthly salary.
Shanghai continuous sick leave ≤6 months only: service coefficients 60–100%, prorated against an 80%-of-entered-minimum-wage monthly benchmark. No obsolete minimum-wage default; verify paid-day basis. Longer leave, personal contributions and more favorable terms need separate review. Reference
Typically the salary agreed in your employment contract. Cannot be lower than the local minimum wage.
Please enter base salary and sick days.
Overview
Understand what the tool solves, how it works, and the boundaries of its data.
This calculator models Shanghai enterprise sick-leave pay for continuous illness or non-work-related injury leave of up to six months. It combines a monthly wage base, years worked at the current employer, leave days, monthly paid days, and the applicable Shanghai monthly minimum wage. The result is an estimate in Chinese yuan (CNY), not a US sick-leave calculation.
For this short-leave model, the service coefficient is 60% for under 2 years, 70% from 2 to under 4, 80% from 4 to under 6, 90% from 6 to under 8, and 100% at 8 years or more. The Shanghai authority describes these as current-enterprise service bands and identifies an 80% of the current-year local minimum wage floor. The page applies that floor after converting it to a daily amount.
Daily estimate before floor = monthly wage base ÷ monthly paid days × service coefficient
Short-leave estimate = daily estimate × sick-leave days
Daily floor used by the calculator = Shanghai monthly minimum wage × 80% ÷ monthly paid days
Displayed total = the higher daily amount × sick-leave days
China's Ministry of Human Resources and Social Security defines daily wage conversion as monthly wage divided by monthly paid days and sets that divisor at 21.75. The calculator starts with 21.75 but lets you change it, so confirm the applicable payroll basis before relying on an estimate. It requires a minimum-wage value; it does not supply a possibly outdated amount.
Example: with a CNY 8,000 monthly base, 3 years of service, 5 leave days, 21.75 monthly paid days, and a user-entered CNY 2,690 minimum wage, the 70% estimate is about CNY 1,287.36. The 80% floor calculation is about CNY 494.71 for those five days, so the estimate remains CNY 1,287.36.
Guide
Follow the workflow and verify inputs and outputs with practical examples.
Enter the monthly amount in CNY that you want to use for the estimate. The calculator uses this number directly; it cannot determine the legally applicable wage base from a contract or payroll records.
Use years of service at the current enterprise for the coefficient band. Decimal values are accepted. Enter the actual eligible leave days as a positive number; the calculator rejects a leave-day value greater than monthly paid days.
Monthly paid days start at 21.75. Enter the current applicable Shanghai monthly minimum wage in CNY to run the floor comparison. Both values must be greater than zero, and the minimum-wage field cannot be left blank.
The result shows the selected coefficient, daily estimate before and after the floor comparison, the floor amount per day, and the total before and after adjustment. For example, CNY 8,000 ÷ 21.75 × 70% × 5 = CNY 1,287.36 after rounding to cents. Changing any input recalculates the figures.
Use cases
See how the tool fits into real work and everyday tasks.
Enter the wage base, current-employer service, eligible leave days, and current minimum wage from reliable records. Compare the estimate's coefficient and floor steps with the payslip, then ask payroll about any difference in the wage base or day count.
Use the same stated assumptions for an initial calculation of continuous leave no longer than six months. Keep the assumptions with the result so a reviewer can verify which wage base, days, and local threshold were used.
Q&A
Find concise answers to common questions and confusing cases.
No. It models a Shanghai-specific short-leave calculation and displays CNY. US state and employer sick-leave rules are outside its scope.
The floor comparison uses 80% of the applicable Shanghai monthly minimum wage converted to a daily amount. The amount changes over time, so the calculator leaves it to you to enter the value that applies to your case.
The minimum-wage amount is required. Check that it and monthly paid days are positive numbers, service years are not negative, and leave days are positive and no greater than monthly paid days.
This calculator does not cover that period. Shanghai guidance uses a separate sickness-benefit schedule for leave over six months, so do not extend this short-leave estimate to longer leave.
Notes
Review scope, result limitations, and important precautions before use.
This is a simplified estimate for Shanghai enterprise employees with continuous sick leave of six months or less. Shanghai's official guidance sets the wage base and leave-day treatment within a broader payroll context. This calculator does not determine the applicable wage base, validate eligibility, decide how rest days or holidays count in an individual case, or account for employer rules that provide better treatment. The 80% floor also has a specific treatment of employee-paid social insurance and housing-fund contributions that this calculator does not model separately.
Use the current Shanghai minimum wage and the correct monthly paid-day basis for the relevant period. The 21.75 default is a national wage-conversion divisor, while the field remains editable; it is not a substitute for checking the applicable payroll method. The model does not cover leave beyond six months, personal contribution deductions, or every agreement and payroll circumstance. Treat the amount as a comparison aid, not a legal determination, and consult the Shanghai human-resources authority or a qualified labor professional if the amount is disputed.
