How to Calculate Your Holiday Pay
The standard formula for calculating holiday pay in Spain is:
Holiday Pay = Hourly Wage × Hours Worked × 1.75
Example: Worker in Spain
A worker in Spain earning €25/hour working 8 hours on a public holiday:
- Holiday rate at 1.75x: €25 × 1.75 = €43.75/hour
- Holiday pay: €43.75 × 8 hours = €350.00
- Regular pay would be: €25 × 8 = €200.00
- Extra premium earned: €150.00
Key Considerations for Spain
- Check your employment contract for specific holiday pay entitlements
- Collective agreements may specify higher rates than statutory minimums
- Some industries may have additional holiday work restrictions
- Compensatory time off may be offered instead of or in addition to premium pay
