Peru CTS Calculator 2026
This calculator estimates your CTS (Compensación por Tiempo de Servicios) in Peru for 2026. The CTS is a statutory benefit that works as savings for when the employment relationship ends, and it is deposited twice a year: by 15 May (for the November–April period) and by 15 November (for the May–October period). Enter your monthly salary, whether you receive family allowance, your last statutory bonus and the months and days worked in the half-year to see the amount to be deposited.
Simplified estimate using the MTPE formula: the CTS is the computable remuneration (salary + family allowance + one sixth of the last statutory bonus) prorated by the months and days worked in the half-year. It ignores variable items (overtime, commissions) and deductions for absences. The deposit is made by 15 May and 15 November. Consult an accountant for the exact figure.

How it works
The CTS is calculated on the computable remuneration, which is your monthly salary plus the family allowance (S/ 113 in 2026, 10% of the minimum living wage of S/ 1,130) plus one sixth of the last statutory bonus received. With that base, the CTS for the half-year equals the base divided by 12 and multiplied by the months worked, plus the base divided by 360 and multiplied by the additional days. For example, with a salary of S/ 3,000, family allowance and a bonus of S/ 3,000, the computable remuneration is 3,000 + 113 + 500 = S/ 3,613; for a full half-year the CTS is 3,613 × 6/12 = S/ 1,806.50. A full half-year is roughly half of the computable salary.
How much CTS you get based on the months worked
The CTS for a half-year equals half the computable salary, but it is prorated by the time actually worked: the base divided by 12 for each full month, plus the base divided by 360 for each loose day. Taking as an example a worker earning the minimum living wage (S/ 1,130) with a full statutory bonus, the computable remuneration is S/ 1,318.33, giving S/ 109.86 per month worked. This is how the deposit grows with the months of the half-year:
| Months worked in the half-year | CTS to deposit |
|---|---|
| 1 month | S/ 109.86 |
| 2 months | S/ 219.72 |
| 3 months | S/ 329.58 |
| 4 months | S/ 439.44 |
| 5 months | S/ 549.31 |
| 6 months (full half-year) | S/ 659.17 |
What makes up the computable remuneration in 2026
The base on which the CTS is calculated brings together your monthly salary, one sixth of the last statutory bonus, and, if you have children who are minors or up to 24 and studying, the family allowance. In 2026 the minimum living wage is S/ 1,130 and the family allowance equals 10% of that figure, i.e. S/ 113 per month. The deposit is made on two fixed dates: by 15 May (November–April period) and by 15 November (May–October period).
| Item | Amount |
|---|---|
| Monthly salary | S/ 1,130.00 |
| 1/6 of the statutory bonus | S/ 188.33 |
| Computable remuneration (without allowance) | S/ 1,318.33 |
| Family allowance (with children) | + S/ 113.00 |
