As a member of the unemployment fund, you get more! Calculate the amount of your unemployment benefits.

As a member of an unemployment fund, you can receive earnings-related daily allowance if you become unemployed, are laid off, or work part-time. The amount of the earnings-related daily allowance is calculated based on your earnings prior to becoming unemployed. Without fund membership, you will receive a basic daily allowance from Kela without a personal earnings-based component. See the table for the benefits of fund membership!
