How is sick leave calculated in 2026? Let's understand the new rules: from what they count: only from your official income for 2024 and 2025. Salaries for 2026 are not included in the calculation. The amount for two years is divided by 730 (the divisor does not change even if the year is a leap year). How much in rubles: maximum for one sick day - 6,827.40 rubles. (almost 20% more than in 2025). The minimum is according to the minimum wage. What the percentage depends on: experience. 8+ years - 100%, from 5 to 8 years - 80%, up to 5 years - 60%. All paid calendar days, including weekends. An important nuance: if you were on maternity leave in 2024-2025, you can replace these years with earlier years (eg 2022-2023) so that the amount will be larger. But only after your application - the accountant will not do this automatically. After dismissal: If you get sick within 30 days after leaving work, you will be paid 60% of your earnings regardless of the period of service.
