Quick summary
To check how many days you've contributed to Spanish Social Security, download your work-life report: it shows the total contribution days and the detail per registered period. Those days determine access to unemployment benefit and the pension. The report is free by SMS without Cl@ve if your mobile is registered.

The short answer
Your contribution days appear in the work-life report. There's no separate document: the report itself totals them and breaks down each registered period.
How to check them
- Download your work-life report (fastest by SMS, no Cl@ve).
- Review the days column for each period and the accumulated total.
- Make sure no employer or period is missing.
Why they matter
- Unemployment: the SEPE uses recent contribution days to decide eligibility and duration.
- Pension: they determine whether you reach the minimum contribution period and affect the amount.
If you spot an error
If periods are missing or an employer didn't register you, you can claim. We explain it in how to fix vida laboral errors.

Frequently asked questions
Where do I see my total contribution days?
In the work-life report. It shows the detail of each registered period and the accumulated total of contribution days across your career.
How many days do I need for unemployment benefit?
Contributory unemployment benefit requires a minimum number of days contributed in recent years; the SEPE calculates the duration from your accumulated days. Check your specific case with the SEPE.
Do self-employed days count the same?
Periods under the self-employed scheme (RETA) also appear in the work-life report and count, although access rules for some benefits differ from the general scheme.
