Calculate holiday entitlement for your employees

A worker is entitled to 5.6 weeks of paid annual leave. This holiday entitlement starts from their first day of employment.

The link below to the holiday entitlement calculator will ensure employers give their workers the correct holiday entitlement. Use this tool to calculate holiday entitlement for:

• a full leave year
• part of a leave year, if the job started or finished partway through the year

If an employee works irregular hours or for part of the year, you can use this calculator to determine how much leave they've accumulated (accrued) over a pay period.
