How NASpI is calculated
The starting point is average monthly pay: the pay subject to social contributions over the last four years, divided by the contribution weeks and multiplied by 4.33.
If average pay is no more than €1,456.72, NASpI is 75% of it. If it is higher, 25% of the excess is added to 75% of €1,456.72. The amount cannot exceed €1,584.70 gross a month in 2026.
Duration and reduction
NASpI lasts half the contribution weeks of the last four years: with four full years of work, 104 weeks, about 24 months. Weeks that already gave entitlement to an earlier benefit do not count.
From the first day of the sixth month the amount falls by 3% each month, calculated on the previous month’s amount. For people aged 55 or over when they apply, the reduction starts from the eighth month.
Who is entitled to NASpI
The calculator estimates amount and duration. Entitlement depends on how the job ended.
- Involuntary loss of work: dismissal, the end of a fixed-term contract, resignation for just cause.
- At least 13 contribution weeks in the previous four years.
- Also paid after resignation during the protected maternity or paternity period, and after termination by mutual agreement in the conciliation procedure or following a refused transfer.
- Anyone who resigned from a permanent job in the previous twelve months needs at least 13 contribution weeks in the new job.
- The application must reach INPS within 68 days of the job ending.
