Korean Unemployment Benefit Calculator (2026)

Estimate daily jobseeker benefit, benefit days, and total from your average pay, age, and insured period, with 2026 upper and lower limits.

How much and how long

Korea's jobseeker benefit is daily benefit × benefit days. The daily amount is 60% of your average wage, floored at 66,048 KRW (80% of minimum wage × 8h) and capped at 68,100 KRW for 2026.

Benefit days run 120 to 270 by age and insured period: under 50 gets 120–240 days, while 50+ or disabled gets 120–270. Voluntary resignation or dismissal for serious misconduct is generally not eligible; the employment center makes the final call. See the severance calculator or salary calculator.
