Calculator

Holiday entitlement calculator

Work out leave in hours and days, with the working pattern, dates and allowance behind the answer.

Your working pattern and leave year

Use your regular average, for example 4.5 for a nine-day fortnight.

Exclude unpaid breaks. Use hours if your days have different lengths.

Include bank holidays already charged to this allowance. Enter 0 if none.

Use one unchanged regular working pattern. Dates use a calendar-day fraction of the leave year. First-year booking limits, changes of hours, carry-over and absence accrual can need a separate calculation. Bank holidays are included once, rather than added automatically.

Your dates and hours stay in this page. They are not saved or added to its URL.

Time off and holiday pay are different calculations

Three regular 7.5-hour days a week gives 16.8 statutory days, or 126 hours, for a full leave year. Four unequal days totalling 30 hours gives 168 hours. Bank holidays may be included in that allowance. Do not add them again if your employer already counts them.

For an eligible GB irregular-hours worker, 68 worked hours produces a provisional rounded increment of 8 hours. The statutory annual accrual cap still needs checking. Northern Ireland and covered Scottish agricultural workers need their own rules.

Read holiday entitlement explained or irregular-hours holiday and pay. To price extra leave, use the separate holiday-buy guide.
