Summary
KLARA does not have a specific function for calculating annual salaries, but you can calculate them by dividing the annual salary into monthly amounts or adjusting the December salary to reflect the full annual amount.
Calculating Annual Salaries with KLARA
KLARA currently lacks a dedicated feature for calculating annual salaries. However, you can still calculate annual salaries using one of the following methods:
Option 1: Monthly Division
- Determine the total annual salary.
- Divide the annual salary by 12 to get the monthly amount.
- Assign this monthly amount to each month from January to December.
- Example: If the annual salary is CHF 120,000, the monthly salary would be CHF 10,000.
Option 2: December Adjustment
- Set the monthly salary to CHF 0.00 for the months of January to November.
- In December, change the monthly salary to the full annual salary amount.
- Generate the pay slips in December to ensure accurate calculations of tax exemptions and social insurance ceilings.
- Remember to deduct the full employee contribution from the December salary.
Important Considerations
- Ensure that the "Start date in KLARA" is set correctly to January 1st of the year for which the annual salary is being calculated. This setting is crucial for both methods.
- An incorrectly set start date cannot be changed retrospectively.
