Guide: How to Calculate National Internship Allowances
One of the benefits for national internship participants is the monthly allowance, which is paid for a maximum of six months.
According to official information from the Ministry of Manabilities (Kemnaker), here is how to calculate the national internship allowance:
Allowance amount = (Number of days attended divided by the established allowance amount) multiplied by the total number of internship days in one month.
Example calculation:
Fixed allowance: Rp 5,729,876 per month (based on 2026 DKI Jakarta Minimum Wage)
Total internship days: 22 days
Within one month:
2 days of sick leave with a doctor’s note → allowance is not deducted
2 days of unexcused absence → allowance is deducted (2 days x Rp 260,449 = Rp 520,898)
This means the calculated attendance is 20 days.
Final allowance received:
20/22 x Rp 5,729,876 = Rp 5,208,978
Important Provisions:
The allowance amount refers to the minimum wage at the internship location.
National holidays, regional holidays, and collective leave days do not result in allowance deductions.
Unexcused absences result in a daily deduction from the allowance.
If a participant leaves the programme mid-way, the allowance is paid according to the number of days attended.
Allowance payments for December will be processed in January of the following year.
Tax regulations follow the prevailing laws.
