¿Cuántos días de vacaciones me tocan en México?

Under the current law (Vacaciones Dignas, since 1 Jan 2023): 12 days after your first year, 14 after the second, 16, 18, 20 through year 5 — then +2 days per 5-year block (22 for years 6–10, 24 for 11–15, and so on). If a page or chatbot tells you 6 days in year one, it is quoting the table repealed in 2022.

Why do so many sites (and AI) say 6 days for the first year?

Because that was the law for decades, and the internet is full of pre-2023 HR pages that were never updated — AI models trained on that corpus inherit the error. The Vacaciones Dignas reform (DOF 27-12-2022) doubled year one to 12 days and re-banded the whole schedule from 1 Jan 2023.

Is the aguinaldo 30 days now?

No. The legal minimum is still 15 days’ salary, payable by 20 December (LFT Art. 87). Initiatives to raise it to 30 days have circulated in Congress but have not passed. Some employers pay 20–30 days by contract — that is a contractual benefit, not the law.

Do I calculate these on my SDI (salario diario integrado)?

No — use your base salary. The SDI exists only for IMSS contribution purposes and already integrates the prima and aguinaldo into the daily figure; computing your prima or aguinaldo on the SDI double-counts the very benefits you are calculating.

I have not completed a year / I am leaving mid-year — do I get anything?

Yes. The aguinaldo is pro-rated by days worked (15 × daily wage × days worked ÷ 365) and is owed even if you leave before December. And on termination before your first anniversary, Art. 79 grants proportional vacation pay and prima for the fraction of the year worked.

Does the 40-hour-week reform change my vacations or aguinaldo?

No. The reduction of the working week phasing in from 2026 to 2030 changes maximum working hours; vacation days (Art. 76), the prima vacacional (Art. 80), and the aguinaldo (Art. 87) are untouched by it.

Mexico Vacation Days, Prima Vacacional & Aguinaldo (Vacaciones Dignas)

Computes your statutory vacation days under Mexico’s Vacaciones Dignas reform (LFT Art. 76, in force 1 Jan 2023), the 25% prima vacacional (Art. 80), and the 15-day aguinaldo due by 20 December (Art. 87), pro-rated for partial years. The internet — and AI trained on it — is saturated with the pre-2023 table that gave just 6 days in year one; the reform doubled that to 12 and re-banded the rest, and the +2-days-per-five-years banding after year 5 is precisely where models and stale HR pages still get it wrong. All amounts use your base salary: the SDI (integrated wage) is for IMSS only, and using it here double-counts the benefits being calculated.

Die Zahlen

Vacation days per year: 16 days; pre-2023 table would have given 10
Prima vacacional (25% minimum): $2,000; 25% × 16 days × $500.00/day (MXN)
Aguinaldo (due by 20 December): $7,500; 15 days’ salary at $500.00/day
Daily wage (cuota diaria): $500.00; monthly base salary ÷ 30
Salary paid during the vacation days: $8,000; your normal pay for those days — the prima is the extra 25% on top of this

Die Einschätzung des Praktikers

Gutes Zeichen

Your statutory minimum package: 16 vacation days, a $2,000 prima vacacional when you take them, and a $7,500 aguinaldo by 20 December — all on your $500.00/day base wage.

Gut zu wissen

The reform headline: under the pre-2023 table you would have had 10 days — Vacaciones Dignas gave you +6. Most of the internet (and AI trained on it) still quotes the old table, which started at just 6 days in year one. The new schedule has been law since 1 Jan 2023.

Gut zu wissen

Aguinaldo: $7,500 — 15 days’ salary, payable by 20 December. If you work less than the full calendar year it is pro-rated by days worked, and the proportional part is owed even if you leave before December.

Gut zu wissen

Next step: on completing year 4 your vacation rises to 18 days. After year 5 the table moves in 5-year blocks (+2 days per block: 6–10 → 22, 11–15 → 24, …), so the wait between raises gets longer.

Gut zu wissen

Base-salary trap: these amounts are computed on your BASE salary, never the SDI (salario diario integrado). The SDI already folds the prima and aguinaldo into a daily figure for IMSS contributions — using it here would double-count the very benefits you are calculating.

Gut zu wissen

These are legal MINIMUMS. Your contract or collective agreement can (and often does) grant more — more days, a higher prima percentage (30–50% is common in CBAs), or a 20–30-day aguinaldo. Check your contract; the law only sets the floor.

Gut zu wissen

2026 rumor check: the statutory aguinaldo is still 15 days — the 30-day initiatives circulating in Congress have NOT passed. And the 40-hour-week reform phasing in 2026–2030 changes working hours, not these entitlements: vacation days, prima, and aguinaldo are untouched by it.

Methodik

Vacation days (LFT Art. 76, as amended by the Vacaciones Dignas decree, DOF 27-12-2022, in force 1 Jan 2023): 12 days on completing the first year, rising 2 per year to 20 at year 5; from year 6, +2 days per additional 5-year block (6–10 → 22, 11–15 → 24, 16–20 → 26, 21–25 → 28, 26–30 → 30, open-ended). Formula: days = 10 + 2y for y ≤ 5, else 20 + 2 × ceil((y − 5) / 5).

The pre-2023 table (shown for contrast as oldLawDays): 6/8/10/12 for years 1–4, then +2 per 5-year block starting after year 4 (5–9 → 14, 10–14 → 16, 15–19 → 18, 20–24 → 20, …). Note the different cadence — old blocks begin at year 5, new blocks at year 6 — which is exactly the table-walk that stale sources and AI models fumble.

Prima vacacional (Art. 80): a minimum of 25% of the salary corresponding to the vacation days — 0.25 × vacation days × daily wage. The daily wage (cuota diaria) is the monthly base salary ÷ 30.

Aguinaldo (Art. 87): a minimum of 15 days’ salary, payable before 20 December, pro-rated by days worked ÷ 365 for anyone who did not work the full calendar year. The proportional part is owed regardless of whether the employee is still employed in December.

All amounts use the base salary, not the SDI (salario diario integrado). The SDI integrates prima, aguinaldo, and other benefits into a daily figure used ONLY for IMSS contribution purposes; computing these entitlements on it double-counts them.

Variable pay (commissions, piece rates): the LFT bases the daily wage on the average of the last 30 days actually worked. This tool takes a monthly base salary; if your pay varies, enter the average of your last 30 worked days × 30.

Vesting: vacation entitlement vests on completing each year of service, so 0 completed years shows 0 days — but on termination before the first anniversary, Art. 79 grants proportional vacation pay and prima for the fraction worked. All figures here are statutory minimums; individual contracts and collective agreements may only improve on them.
