Interest calculator | Employees’ legal claims
Law 27,802, Section 55 a)
This tool makes it easy to calculate default interest in relation to employees’ legal claims using the deposit rate determined by the BCRA, as set out in Law 27,802, Section 55 a).
Additionally, the adjusted amount of the claim is compared against two other amounts:
• Adjustment based on the reference stabilization coefficient (coeficiente de estabilización de referencia, CER) + 3% annual (CER+3), and
• 67% of the adjusted amount based on CER+3.
The CER is a daily indicator developed by the BCRA based on the change of the consumer price index (CPI) published by the National Institute of Statistics and Censuses (Instituto Nacional de Estadísticas y Censos, INDEC).
Upon entering an initial amount and a certain period, the calculator determines the interest or adjustment, and the resulting total amount after applying the three procedures mentioned above.
About the rate used in the calculation
The BCRA publishes a deposit rate statistical series to calculate default interest on employees’ legal claims, under Law 27,802, Section 55 a).
The series reflects the daily effective rate paid on 30-day time deposits in pesos and is daily updated.
