In a few countries they will give you a flat fee as long as you are unemployed (UK) but in others it's linked to your previous salary and only for a short time (Spain and Germany). Others I don't know much about.

That's the unemployment benefit but if / after you're not entitled to that, you get different benefits. In Germany it's 382 EUR + housing and healthcare expenses according to wiki.

Switzerland too. (~80% previous salary)
