How to Calculate CTS 2024 Fee?

According to Mauricio Matos, associate partner of EY Peru's labor sector for the Andina agency, he explained how to calculate the CTS:

• For an employee receiving an imprecise or variable prime salary, the CTS results from the average salary earned by the employee over the six months covering each period. Hence, the salary is averaged from November to April (May CTS) or May to October (November CTS).
• If an employee who receives a fixed salary but receives an irregular or variable supplementary salary, i.e., because of overtime, received 3 or more times in November of the previous year, these amounts are included in the calculation in the period up to April (May CTS) or in the period from May to October (Nov. CTS). In this way, the concepts are added and divided by 6.

To calculate the amount, you need to take into account the monthly salary received by the worker, and then add 1/6 to the bonus (divide the bonus by six). The total is divided by 360 and then multiplied by the number of days worked (for the entire semester, it would be 180 days).
