Severance Pay at Intel — What to Expect & How to Negotiate

ⓘ

The figures below are drawn from public news reporting about its 2024 workforce reductions. Severance packages vary by role, tenure, and date, change over time, and are not guaranteed. Use them as a negotiating benchmark, not a promise — and confirm anything specific directly.

Intel announced significant workforce reductions in 2024 as part of a widely reported cost-cutting plan, including a voluntary-separation and early-retirement component. Public reporting described enhanced separation offers for some employees, but a single universal formula was not published, and terms differed between voluntary and involuntary departures.
