How it works

This calculator uses the UK statutory baseline of 5.6 weeks annual leave. For days-based calculations, entitlement is days worked per week x 5.6. For hours-based calculations, entitlement is hours worked per week x 5.6.

Pro-rata entitlement is calculated from your start date through to the end of your current leave year. Shift worker mode estimates weekly hours from your reference period first, then applies the same 5.6-week statutory approach.
