How aguinaldo is calculated
Aguinaldo = daily salary × entitled days × (days worked in the year ÷ 365). Daily salary is monthly pay ÷ 30.
Article 87 of the Federal Labor Law grants at least 15 days of salary, payable before 20 December. Workers who did not complete the year receive a proportional amount.
Formula
Aguinaldo = (monthly salary ÷ 30) × entitled days × (days worked ÷ 365)
Worked example
A worker earning MXN 15,000 monthly worked the whole year and receives the 15-day legal minimum.
