How Peru’s gratificación works
Quick answer: Peru pays two gratificaciones a year — July (Fiestas Patrias) and December (Christmas) — each equal to one month’s pay for a full semester, plus an extraordinary bonus of 9% (6.75% if your health cover is an EPS). On S/ 2,500 plus the family allowance (S/ 123), December 2026 brings S/ 2,623 + S/ 236.07 = S/ 2,859.07, due by Tuesday, December 15, 2026 (Ley 27735; DS 005-2002-TR). No AFP, ONP or EsSalud is deducted (Ley 30334).
If you started during the semester you get one sixth per complete calendar month: starting September 10 counts October, November and December. If you leave before payday, the “trunca” counts complete months only, uses the previous month’s pay, and is paid within 48 hours. The minimum wage rose to S/ 1,230 on October 1, 2026, so the family allowance for December is S/ 123 (it was S/ 113 in July). Small companies under REMYPE pay half; microenterprises pay none. Everything runs in your browser — your pay is never sent anywhere.

FAQ
When is Peru’s December 2026 gratificación due?
By Tuesday, December 15, 2026. The law requires payment in the first half of December, and the deadline can’t be postponed even by agreement (Ley 27735 art. 5; DS 005-2002-TR art. 4). If you leave earlier, the prorated “trunca” is due within 48 hours of your last day.
I started mid-semester — how much do I get?
One sixth of your pay for each complete calendar month from July to December. Starting on September 10 gives October, November and December, so 3/6: on S/ 2,500 plus the S/ 123 family allowance that is S/ 1,311.50 plus a S/ 118.04 bonus. You need at least one full month.
Are AFP or ONP contributions deducted?
No. Gratificaciones carry no pension or health contributions (Ley 30334 art. 1) — that is why the 9% the employer no longer pays to EsSalud goes to you. Income tax (5th category) can be withheld if your yearly pay exceeds 7 UIT (S/ 38,500 in 2026), and court-ordered deductions still apply.
