Feriepenger, or holiday pay, is an entitlement for employees in Norway designed to provide income during vacation periods when regular salary is not paid. It is earned the year prior (earning year) to when it is paid out (holiday year).
It's typically calculated as a percentage of your "Feriepengegrunnlag" (holiday pay basis), which generally includes your gross salary, overtime, and taxable benefits from the previous year. The standard rate is 10.2%, and 12% for those over 60 or with 5 weeks of vacation.
Most commonly, Feriepenger is paid out once a year, often in June, replacing your regular salary for that month. However, the exact payment date can vary based on your employer's policies or collective agreements.
